How much time will it take?

A recent post from Museum 2.0 (I know, I know, but I suppose everyone has a 2.0 niche) considers the question of “How much time does it take“.

When David explained that each of the Holocaust Museum’s myriad comment boards, blogs, and online forums is moderated by a staff member, the audience turned a little green. As one woman put it, “spending time on this means time staff isn’t spending on other work.”

The post attempts to offer advice on the time commitments required for various Web 2.0 roles. Translated - if you want a school administrator, a teacher, etc. to blog, podcast or whatever, just what will the time commitment be.

The post proposes the time required to qualify as a content provider (maintain a blog, podcast) is 5-10 hours per week. You get off easier for a Facebook or MySpace account - 1-5 hours.

I am not sure how one arrives at such numbers. Experience I suppose. 5 hours a week seems about right for a blog.
