Are you addicted to blogging ?

nodrugsThis NY Times article talks about addicted bloggers, close to a drug addiction.

Jeff says "when you start thinking in blog, it becomes part of you."

"There is this seductive thing that happens, this kind of snowball-rolling-down-a-hill thing" "and the absence of posting feels like - I don't know, laziness or something."says Bill Barol.

Am I addicted ?

Yeah, I guess so, when I don't blog one full day I feel a little bad, I enjoy sharing views with you and I got used to have your feedback, bad or good, on what I do or think, and I just feel my ideas get better with the permanent mirror of bloggers.

I would have never done this speech without the feedback you gave me to prepare it.

I have managed to keep some control over it, even though my kids and my wife often get upset when I blog too much. It is actually quite sad to go blogging rather than spending time with your kids, I realize it and I try to control that.

How do you feel ? Addicted, too ?

Update: Robert feels addicted but says he has met so many great new friends that he does not mind. I agree.

So im an addict , too LoL!

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
