A recent study, out of Swinburne University of Technology found that in a two month period, bloggers were feeling less depressed, anxious, and stressed than non bloggers. The study attributes the social newtworking with these benefits. But there’s a catch, the study also found that bloggers started from a lower social position than nonbloggers, feeling less satisfied with their “real life” relationships. Many turn to blogging for a sense of connection- internet or otherwise.

that’s quite an interesting article… I on the other hand, have no time for blogging! I feel like my friends are the people who listen to my daily ramble about life’s situations… I personally don’t care what other people think of my thoughts… but maybe, you do!
Yeah, I read this article and was slightly surprised. I agree with the previous comment – I barely have time to blog and don’t find much satisfaction in it anyway. I would rather talk to someone than type and read comments. Maybe that would be different if it weren’t for a class? Who knows.
