Of Blogs and Blog Addictions

I mentioned some time ago that Workforce magazine had done an article featuring workforce-related blogs and that the article had featured Benefitsblog. You can now access the article via LookSmart: "They came from the Internet: workforce-centric "blogs" proliferate; experts, kibitzers add value--and their own two cents' worth.(Out front: news & trends in workforce management)." (Correction to the article: Three teens, not two.)

When I discovered that you could access the article via LookSmart, I got a pleasant surprise exploring the LookSmart website which is an excellent resource for information on various topics. I especially liked this article which I found on blogs by Mary Ellen Bates: "Blogs: my new addiction.(online spotlight)." Quote of Note: "I remember discovering Weblogs back in 1999. "Hmmm," I thought . . . Fast-forward to 2003. I'm hooked. I spend more time on blogs than I do on e-mail lists, and if I don't set a limit, I could spend all day reading blogs. As a side note, the Google Toolbar version 2.0--still in beta at press time--should probably be classified as a Schedule I controlled substance."
