The BBC reports on new phenomenon. It seems that ghost bloggers are being employed to keep up with all the social networking we need to do these days. For a fee, I can now hire someone to manage my Facebook, LinkedIn, work and personal blog profiles. They'll also answer all the messages I get from friends and colleagues on them.
I wonder if people are starting to worry that if they don't have an up-to-the-minute presence in all these places, they'll cease to exist in the physical world? I certainly know people who spend an inordinate amount of time blogging and keeping tabs on the bloggersphere. Will it spawn a whole new raft of corporate anxieties? I predict that Social Networking Disorder (SND) will soon be upon us.
