Are you a blogaholic?Auiz that rates you as some who blogs and is perhaps addicted. Take the quiz and get your score. Is it bad to be a blogaholic or merely a habit, like doing hard drugs?

Ah but is it a double post? Surely Metatalk is another reality...

another question for the quiz:
Did you see the post about blogaholic on MetaTalk or MetaFilter first.

Your score: 60/100

1061 people have taken this silly test so far.
217 people have scored higher than you.
754 people have scored lower than you.
90 people made the same grade as you.

"You are a dedicated weblogger. You post frequently because you enjoy weblogging a lot, yet you still manage to have a social life. You're the best kind of weblogger. Way to go!"

...I think there's something wrong with this guy's point system. I don't think anyone's ever told me I'm the best KIND of weblogger. Maybe I should just accept the compliment, but it's kinda eerie... I mean I take pride in being suck at it, and now I'm actually good at it? When'd that happen?

I get enough put downs from my Brride! This is the very first time I turned to Metatalk and since the Metafilter link detector came up without a previous post, I posted.
Is there a test or quiz for Blog addicted readers?

hey, it looks like we killed it! (and I was gonna retake it to post my score....)

"I am sorry, but the Blogaholic Quiz is currently down, most likely due to the heavy traffic. I'm praying that I didn't kill the Catharsis.org server with it."

(even that only comes up erratically)

wonder if folks could start offering her mirrors? (no idea how that sort of thing would work, or whether it would do any good, but I hate to think that it would just disappear!)

ouch.. don't think we were the ones who killed it. she got slashdotted.

FYI, the quiz is back up again :)

I think more interesting than the quiz is the Penguin Game linked from Firda's blog. Lots of life can be lost and many grey hairs can be found from getting caught up in that thing.

I'm still in denial. Not because I don't participate on weblogs, but because "blog" is such an ugly word.
