Good Post on Why Blogging Doesn’t Matter for Your Career

Entertaining read that I was made aware of via Seth Godin’s blog. When considering whether to blog (or to do anything that has consequences for that matter) it is important to look for both confirming evidence and disconfirming evidence that supports your hypothesis or position. This post takes a look at the other side of the coin.

Anyway, here’s my two favorites segments of the post:

• 3. It really impresses people when you say "Oh, I’ve written about
  that, just google for XXX and I’m on the top page" or "Oh, just google
  my name."

  No, it doesn’t, it just makes you look like a dork …

• 5. Bloggers are better-informed than non-bloggers. Knowing more is a career advantage.

  Balderdash. Bloggers are not necessarily better-informed. They might
  be more focused or be the first to publish the facts, but they are too
  often ignorant of the wider picture (no matter what the subject matter)
  or the consequences of writing what they do…
