Is blogging a waste of time?

Blogging is about reading, writing and sharing your expression, experience & thought.
In another hand, blogging is money maker, online marketing or search engine marketing. Internet will work for you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Internet availability, mobile blogging and then ubiquitous blogging will serve you. Do 'blog' anytime, anywhere, on any digital mobile/portable devices.

Currently, based on Bloglines Kesehatan (my feed reader of medical blogs) and health website/weblog links, I found at least 116 excellent Indonesia medical weblogs/websites. Half of them still active in the last 6 months.

Realize that consumers start looking up their conditions online & relying on Internet to research or select doctors/healthcare services.
