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
