What’s the similarity between smoking and blogging?
Ans: Both Kills - At least according to this old New York Times article that I came across - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/06/technology/06sweat.html
You might be wondering whats the point I'm trying to make here, nothing, except that it will be good to hear what do you think about this article?
Wonder what Amit Agarwal would have to say about this! I didn't know Om Malik has a heart attack in Dec.... which is a bit odd considering he was in India for wordcamp in Jan....
sheba is correct..both are very addictive. But blogging addiction might be good for u..but smoking addiction is not..
This is an interesting topic. And I don't entirely agree with what NYtimes had to say. we all know every habit has its limits.
Lets take a hypothetical situation... An 17 year old boy, just got theown oout of a huge IT conference droped unconsious. At the hospital he does not remember anything he did after he got up from his computer. Doctors diagnose it to be multiple personality disorder and that the boy has developed a characted in himself who thinks he is ahead of the world with his ideas and too much of that excessive mental stress by that personality caused a brain damage and got the kid admitted in the hospital.
The doctor might diagnose the cause of stress is personality disorder and cause of that is because of excessive time spent on blogs.
Now you see, this might make a good episode of House, but I wont accept that excessive blogging killed him. I guess what I'm trying to say is, nytime's article is argueable and similarity of smoking an blogging is that they both mean the world for its respective addicts.
Well this may account to bragging but I earn for than $50000 a month from www.blogcastor.com
Ciggs more addictive coz its something that does to your body than your brains.
