Anyone use blogs for professional/career reasons? Or, just entertainment?

I'm compiling a research paper for grad school on the use of blogs. One of the primary focuses is the use of blogs within professional communities and organizations. For instance, do you visit blogs to keep up with the latest happenings in your career field? If anyone knows of a great blog for lawyers, doctors, or even strippers, let me know! Chances are that your input will make it into my paper. Help a grad student out. Thanks.

Anyone use blogs for professional/career reasons? Or, just entertainment?
Blogs should be used for professional reasons. There are a tremendous number of professional blogs. For education, check out http://www.weblogg-ed.com/, http://teach42.com/, and http://www.discoveryeducatornetwork.com/...





Personally, I do keep up with my own profession (education) through blogs. I use bloglines as my aggregator.
