Slashdot is chatting about how writers are finding the pressures of (pro) blogging to be too great. The New York times talks about how bloggers are under constant pressure to release a stream of content, all the time.

Michael Arrington, the famous TechCrunch blogger, is quoted saying

” ‘I haven’t died yet,’ said Michael Arrington, the founder and co-editor of TechCrunch, a popular technology blog. The site has brought in millions in advertising revenue, but there has been a hefty cost. Mr. Arrington says he has gained 30 pounds in the last three years, developed a severe sleeping disorder and turned his home into an office for him and four employees. ‘At some point, I’ll have a nervous breakdown and be admitted to the hospital, or something else will happen. This is not sustainable,’ he said.”
