This would have been an interesting topic to discuss for my research paper in the spring. I was the first student the professor every had that wanted to include as part of research and write about weblogging and photoblogging on "virtual communities" - sociology of cyberspace (2nd year). There was not alot of literature on blogging at that time. And professor noted it is something a third or fourth year student would be doing. I manage to complete the task anyways.
