Is Blogging Dangerous to Your Health?

I must have got up in a bad mood today thinking this thought. I hear and read that executives are concerned that if organizations deploy Enterprise 2.0 that employees will spend too much time doing non-business value-add things. Things like sharing information, providing best practices, or collaborating with someone in another organization. Now, how much time could you possible waste on these awful activities, 15 or 30 minutes per day? Yet these same managers or executives have no issue with people taking smoking breaks for 10-15 minutes, 4-5 times a day. Maybe if we could get Rear Admiral Steven K. Galson to declare E2.0 dangerous to your health, then blogging would be ok. Seriously, if managers don't seem to care about people wasting an hour killing themselves everyday, then taking 20 minutes to read someone's profile shouldn't be either.
