A survey by US trade magazine Advertising Age says one in four workers reads weblogs, losing on average nine per cent of the workweek or 551,000 years of work in 2005 alone. The Atlantic has more details here.
Woody by name ...
From Popbitch, Scarlett, our eternal muse, reports : "The moment Woody (Allen) would yell, 'Cut,' he'd turn to me and ask, 'So how old were you when you lost your virginity?' "
Both from Stephen, thanks very much.

For my part, I love the notion that organisations employ these greasy little middle managers whose sole corporate purpose it is to squander their $100K a year "worklife" measuring such things as this:
"One in four US workers reads blogs regularly while at work, losing, on average, some nine percent of the workweek."
Far more salient, I think, would be to measure just how "productive" these sad little bean-counters are on behalf of their organisations, as they swan around the office in an Excel spreadsheet-induced rage of cost-cutting, confusing the time their fellow workers (the ones who actually create whatever it is their company sells) spend trying to stay sane with so-called lost productivity.
But then, I would say that, wouldn't I.
