B.L. Ochman has an interesting article on Top 10 Reasons Your Company Should Not Blog. Find those reasons on: Marketing Profs

Now with that article in mind, perhaps there are other reasons why a person or company should not blog. So let's do our own little David Letterman Top 10 - Can you think of any?

I'll start by naming a few I've found -

1. Blogging can be addictive

2. Blogging can cause weight gain

3. You may say something that comes back to haunt you

4. Your friends can no longer trust you to not blog about them

5. Blogging can and often does take up all your spare time

6. You stop sending Christmas cards and send email links to your blog greeting instead.

7. You spend more time cleaning your blog than you do cleaning your house.
