    The rise of blogging clearly represents a significant social phenomenon, but studying it poses a challenge in part because defining a blog is not a simple thing. There have been a number of attempts to do so at the technical level, where the presence of material organized by time stamp or the existence of RSS feeds have been suggested as defining features. A group at the University of California-Irvine, however, decided to approach the question from the perspective of human-computer interactions, where the humans involved were blog readers. Mixing in a dose of literary theory provided some interesting insights into how readers view and define blogs.

    The girls reinforce their close friendships with one another & with classmates who also blog. They use their blogs to rollick & rant & reminisce, perhaps with less attention to the niceties of word choice & spelling & grammar than they invest in their English papers. They express sides of themselves at odds w/ their public personas & glimpse what may not be apparent in their friends.
