Are Blogs a Job requirement?

I was just reading a post on Scoble 's blog about a guy on Joel Spolsky's fourm, where he was unable to get a job because he didn't have a blog!

It turns out that the job was working on blog software and I aggree that if the guy had no experiance of writing his own blogs he's possibily not the best man for the job.  But are bolgs becoming a new job requirement and should we be including the URL on our CV's to give possible future employees a better understanding of who you are?

It's also made me realise I have to start bloging more as i havn't made the best use of it yet.  At first I thought it would be a great place for me to store solutions to problems I spent alot of time on.  Thus far I can think of a 4/5 topics that i could have added but was too lazy to add...

So my new years resolution is to make more posts! (though I hope i'll start before January!)
