[lbo-talk] blogging: so easy it can be done by Wonkette's cat

[Tom Walker]

In "The Real Reasons You're Working So Hard..." 
http://biz.yahoo.com/special/workhard05_article1.html Michael Mandel and 
colleagues at BusinessWeek Online propose blogging -- blogging! -- as 
one potential cure for they call "this epidemic of long hours at the 
office".You don't believe me? Of course not, it would be a silly thing 
to say:

"Blogs, collaborative online databases (called wikis) and open-source 
software development all use the Net to handle much of the coordination 
among people rather than relying on top-down command and control. Such a 
shift to a digital spine could eventually lessen bureaucratic time 
burdens on overworked professionals, especially those in such high-cost 
industries as health care."

The last time I heard anything that dopey was circa 1994 when this new 
thingy, the Internet was supposed to be going to foster genuine democracy.
