Blogs and me in the news

The daily newspaper Vasabladet, at which I worked a couple of summers both as a writing and layout reporter, has a feature story today on blogs. I contribute with the explanation part, as to why people blog. I once blogged on the underlying reasons and in the feature story, I repeat that I believe two human needs are met by blogging, that is the need to express oneself and to belong to a community (or as the sociologist love to call it: Gemeinschaft) or a peer-group. The story is not on-line, curiously enough, but if I find the time, I'll see if I can upload a screen shot of the story.
