Of course it is different at TreeHugger, with our Zody chairs and daily online pilates classes, but according to the New York Times, life can be hard on the full time blogger:
"They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece — not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.
A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment."
Silly article at ::The New York Times UPDATE: See Marc Andreessen's suggestions for future headlines on blogging. My favourite is "Bloggers Shorter than Normal People."
