is how much time I spend on blog reading and writing and how anyone can work that into their already too busy life. Blog reading and writing as part of scanning has been a replacement of other activities that I used to do - reading magazines and books. Of course, a lot of blog posts you skip very quickly.

As you know, I've started Pushing Harder for People to Blog - at my recent presentations, I've really pushed people hard. The speaker mentioned that since he had started blogging, a year previous, he had learned more from blogging and reading the blogs of peers than he had in his entire academic career.

Partisans of blogging argue that there are many potential business applications of the technology (and they discuss these applications in their blogs!). But I believe that blogging falls into the unproven category. I know of no organization in which the benefits of blogging have been measured. well here it is.

I received a great set of questions via email over the weekend roughly coming out of a two articles: Gartner: Blogging to peak in 2007 , By Some Measures, Blogging May Be Peaking. By end of 2007, will those educators who would ever dabble in blogging have dabbled? Will it only be used by educators that have kept up blogging.

I think the comment is so good that I'm writing a blog post to respond to the comment. Thus, I'd hate for readers of my blog to miss out on something that I think is pretty interesting. I also know that I get about 200 visitors a day to the blog site itself, but very few maybe 50 will come through an RSS reader.

Out of the original October 2006: Should All Learning Professionals Be Blogging?
