Isi artikel

Over the last five years blogs (or web logs) have attracted much publicity. Given their potentially high visibility, it is crucial for social researchers to consider carefully the nature and risks of using blogs, particularly where they will be publicly accessible and open to comment. This chapter will describe how blogs can be used successfully for online social research, including the ways in which they may be exploited to share information not only between interdisciplinary teams. The chapter will provide an overview of the structure and formatting of blogs, the methodological issues raised by technical options such as 'comment' features, and the combining of photos and text. It will also look in depth at recent research projects that have developed blogs, and indicate some of the problems of using these online tools. The chapter also discusses how blogs may offer one way of translating-or performing-the process and resullts of social research to online audiences.
