Blogging: Not popular among travelers
The blog scene─creating and maintaining Web logs─has yet to attract a significant portion of business travelers. It may be a matter of unwanted notoriety or simply a lack of time; the estimated eight million Americans who publish to blogs include an astonishingly low number of frequent business travelers.
Since it is, after all, business that keeps frequent travelers on the road, anonymity is a considerable factor. According to Alex Halavais, a blogging specialist at the University of Buffalo, “Even a mention that you are in a particular city may sometimes be enough information for a competitor to surmise what is going on.”
