I came across a fascinating set of numbers in an article in today's Online Advertising Age, Study Shows Blogging Now "Mainstream" Among Women, which, if "statistically correct", has profound implications for the development of social capital that has been an abiding interest at our Nightschool. For those who can't open the link or don't have the time, here are a few take-aways from the article: 1."Blogosphere" may not be a pretty name for it...
