4、elebrate four years of marriage, Richard Wiggins and his wife, Judy Matthews, recently spent a week in Key West(基韦斯特市). Early on the morning of their anniversary, Ms. Matthews heard her husband get up and go into the bathroom. He stayed there for a long time.“I didnt hear any water running, so I won
5、dered what was going on,“ Ms. Matthews said. When she knocked on the door, she found him seated with his laptop balanced on his knees, typing into his Web log, a collection of observations about the technical world, over a wireless link.BThe increasing biogging/BBlogging is a pastime for many, even
6、a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession (沉迷). Such bloggers often feel compelled to write several times daily and feel anxious if they dont keep up. As they spend more time sitting in front of their computers, they neglect family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on
7、 the road. They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit.The number of bloggers has grown quickly, thanks to sites like , which makes it easy to set up a biog. Technorati, a blog-tracking service, has counted some 2.5 million blogs.Of course, mos
8、t of those millions are abandoned or, at best, maintained infrequently. For many bloggers, the novelty soon wears off and their persistence fades.Sometimes, too, the realization that no one is reading sets in. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be
9、 read by so few. By Jupiter Researchs estimate, only 4 percent of online users read blogs.BThe self. talking Mr. Wiggins/BIndeed, if a blog is compared to a conversation between a writer and readers, bloggers like Mr. Wiggins are having conversations largely with themselves.Mr. Wiggins, 48, a senior
10、 information technologist at Michigan State University in East Lansing, does not know how many readers he has; he suspects its not many. But that does not seem to bother him.“Im just getting something off my chest,“ he said. Nor is he deterred(妨碍) by the fact that he endeavors for hours at a time on
11、 his blog for no money. He gets satisfaction in other ways. “Sometimes theres an I told you so aspect to it,“ he said. Recent reflections on wigblog, blogspot, com have focused on Gmail, Googles new e-mail service. Mr. Wiggins points with pride to Wigblog posts that voiced early privacy concerns abo
12、ut Gmail.BBeing addicted/BPerhaps a chronically small audience is a blessing. For it seems that the more popular a blog becomes, the more some bloggers feel the need to post.Mr. Pierce, who lives in Hollywood and works as a scheduler in the entertainment industry, said blogging began to feel like an
13、 addiction when he noticed that he would rather be with his computer than with his girlfriend - for technical reasons.“Shes got an iMac, and I dont like her computer,“ Mr. Pierce said. When he is at his girlfriends house, hes getting ants in his pants. “We have little fights because I want to go hom
14、e and write my thing,“ he said.Mr. Pierce described the rush he gets from what he called “the fix“ provided by his biog. “The pleasure of reply is twofold,“ he said, “You can have instant response; youre going to hear about something really good or bad. And if I feel like Ive written something good,
15、 its enjoyable to go back and read it. And, like most addictions, those feelings go away quickly. So I have to do it again and again. It is not uncommon among bloggers.“BA sense of achievement/BJoseph Lorenzo Hall, 26, a graduate student at the School of Information Management and Systems at the Uni
16、versity of California at Berkeley who has studied bloggers, said that for some people blogging has replaced e-mail as a way to procrastinate (耽搁) at work. People like Mr. Pierce, who devote much of their free time to the care and feeding of their own blogs and posting to other blogs, do so largely b
17、ecause it makes them feel productive even if it is not a paying job.Mr. Wiggins has missed deadline after deadline at Searcher, an online magazine for which he is a paid contributor. Barbara Quint, the editor of the magazine, said she did all she could to get him to deliver his columns on time. Then
18、 she discovered that Mr. Wiggins was busily posting articles to his blog instead of sending her the ones he had promised, see said. “Here he is working all night on something read by five second cousins and a dog, and Im willing to pay him,“ she said.Ms. Quint has grown more understanding of his rea
19、sons, if not entirely sympathetic. “The Webs illusion of immortality(不朽的名声) is sometimes more attractive than actual cash,“ she said.BBlogging as routine/BMr. Jarvis characterizes the blogging way of life as a routine rather than an obsession. “Its a habit,“ he said. “What youre really doing is tell
20、ing people about something that they might find interesting. When that becomes part of your life, when you start thinking in blog, it becomes part of you.“BBlog fatigue/BSuffering from a similar form of “blog fatigue,“ Bill Barol, a freelance writer in Santa Monica, California, simply stopped altoge
21、ther after four years of nearly constant blogging. “It was starting to feel like work, and it was never supposed to be a job,“ Mr. Barol said, “It was supposed to be an anti- job.“ Even with some 200 visitors to his blog each day, he has not posted to his blog since returning from a month of travel.
22、 Still, Mr. Barol said, he does not rule out a return to blogging someday. “There is this attractive thing that happens, this kind of snowball-rolling-down-a-hill thing, where the sheer momentum (动力) of several years posting becomes very keenly felt,“ he said. “And the absence of posting feels like
