I think that's a good article, but it doesn't discuss what the downside is: if you blog with the hopes of reaching an audience, you could be disappointed that only a few people visit. If someone's already depressed, then wouldn't that enhance it?
Melinda- I think it would all depend. If a person never commented on anybody else's blog them maybe they wouldn't be know by others. It might only be luck that had anybody finds the blog.
Good topic, but not a great article. There are a ton of ways that people use their blogs as a new form of social interaction.
Look at the little community of KC bloggers... I get entertainment, news, great pictures, info on other cultures, and more on my daily reads. Plus, I have noted I get a shit ton of support and encouragement whenever I post anything personal.
