DIA users are getting a happy -- we hope -- surprise this week in the form of a cleaned-up headquarters interface.
If you're paying your first blog visit via the headquarters
link, come on in, have a drink (drinks are a specialty here). Go
ahead and use this thread to weigh in on the headquarters changes, or
anything else on your mind.
Might want to check if the boss is watching,
though. Free registration is required for this managerial
freak-out starring wasted time on blogs as the iceberg lurking in the
gloomy deep at
the Republic's waterline. Representative excerpt:
About 35 million workers -- one in four people in the labor force -- visit blogs and on average spend 3.5 hours, or 9%, of the work week engaged with them, according to Advertising Age's analysis. Time spent in the office on non-work blogs this year will take up the equivalent of 2.3 million jobs. Forget lunch breaks -- blog readers essentially take a daily 40-minute blog break.
More evidence that whatever there is to
get about blogs isn't being gotten by Man: Forbes' amusing Blogs
101 primer for clueless companies, including strategies for
retaliating against bad pub in blogosphere that any blogswarmer would
be lucky to see deployed. (Link goes to AmericaBlog's
