NEW YORK - The death comes with the blog: the stress of keeping updated 24 hours 24 an online diary combined with the lack of exercise and sleep and an irregular and unhealthy diet, are a potentially lethal cocktail that has begun to claim victims in the web world. Two weeks ago in Fort Lauderdale (Florida) was held the funeral of Russell Shaw, a prolific blogger of technological died suddenly of a heart attack at 60. In December, another blogger friend, Marc Orhant, was over an extended underground to block the coronary arteries. A third, Om Malik had a heart attack on the same days but has done it: he has just 41 years.
