Blog-o-tron
At last, scientific vindication among the widespread social belief that there is something positive about the arguably loose-net collections of people and ideas that constitute the blogosphere!
Australian researchers studied bloggers for two months to determine their social connectivity as compared to a control group of Internet browsing non-bloggers.
What seems most peculiar about their findings is that people who own or contribute to blogs seemed to have better (or at least think to have better) social support than those who didn’t. But the vast majority of bloggers don’t receive any comments from posts, so the social support they feel seems almost cathartic; it’s the action of speaking their mind, not the feedback of others, which makes them feel more connected.
