Blogorrhea

Evan Williams, one of the creators of Blogger web authoring software, points out, "the blog concept is about three things: Frequency, Brevity, and Personality". This spontaneity means that, at times, bloggers publish impulsive, ill-considered messages. Some authors generate unusually high volumes of output—typically with a noticeable decrease in the quality of content—a phenomenon known as "blogorrhea" (Viegas, 2005).
