clipped from: www.informationweek.com Three well-known tech bloggers have had heart attacks since December, and a story in the New York Times suggests that the high stress of blogging may be a cause.
The supporting evidence -- two of the bloggers died -- makes for a compelling story, especially to fellow information workers, as we are sometimes known.
I am not nearly as prolific as the bloggers who died, but the burdens of blogging can be felt by anyone who blogs, even amateurs. The urgency to express an original thought, and to post it first, is constant. The strain to find topics that will resonate with readers, unrelenting. Most importantly it's the constant pressure to drive page views that is onerous.
