New Pew
Posted by Daisy Pignetti USF on July 21, 2006 in DoctorDaisyUSF posts | ∞
I have to get on the road for a 4+ hour drive to Miami, but wanted to share the link to the PDF of the newest Pew Internet and American Life Project report: Bloggers: A portrait of the internet’s new storytellers
I think it is most interesting that “most bloggers are primarily interested in creative, personal expression – documenting individual experiences, sharing practical knowledge, or just keeping in touch with friends and family.” This is similar to my students responses for why they keep a MySpace account (compared to the Vanity Fair sexing it up and news media reports scaring you off).
Having just found links to a slew of New Orleanian bloggers this past week too, I think it exemplifies their reasons for blogging as well.
Blog on!
