The New York Times > Technology > Circuits > For Some, the Blogging Never Stops

This is interesting. I think I know a few people like this and even one that shares a name, "They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit." I think there is a distinct lack of readership of blogs. For me, I've mostly started to use mine as a place to store interesting links that I may need to come back to later on. The default taxonomy that blogs use is simply a calendar which you can then contextualize with comments and ramblings such as this. Instead of a forum for others to read, it becomes my public cognitive artifact.

I can (and do) use other taxonomies to store links and interesting peices of information, but none seem quite so portable as this.
