Are You Part Of This 25%?
A recent survey by the magazine Advertising Age (which I found in The Atlantic Monthly, Jan/Feb 2006) indicates that one out of four workers in the U.S. (which, I recently learned, is different from America) is a regular blog reader - during work hours. On average, these folks lose 9% of their workweek to blog reading, which works out to over 550,000 lost hours of work last year.
For all of you contributing to these statistics: Congratulations! Keep up the good (non)work.

Seriously...about 1/3rd of my time in my office, when I'm not waiting for a meeting, is spent blogging. Eeek!
