The Lonely, The Proud, the Bloggers

Got a blog? Then you're probably lonely. This according to new research out of the University of Calgary.

Professor Michael Keren, author of Blogosphere: The New Political Arena, says we're a lonely bunch. "Bloggers think of themselves as rebels against mainstream society, but that rebellion is mostly confined to cyberspace, which makes blogging as melancholic and illusionary as Don Quixote tilting at windmills," he told Canoe.

Personally, I don't buy it. The bloggers I read go to a lot of conferences and they sure send a lot of email. What's your view? Are you lonesome tonight?
