AOL Study Sees Blogs as Therapy
Blogs may have started with political junkies and techies, but these days about half of all blogs are a form of therapy for their authors, according to research done for AOL.
Asked what they write about(multiple answers were allowed):
* 65.7 percent of respondents to the survey said 'anything
and everything'
* 62.5 percent said 'family'
* 54.3 percent said 'friends'
While such personal items dominate writing, 43.9 percent of
those surveyed said they read other blogs to get a fresh
perspective on the news
