Social networks and research weblogs
Stephanie Nilsson from Umeå University, a blogger who was working on a paper concerning weblogs and social networks, has published her paper online: The Function of Language to Facilitate and Maintain Social Networks in Research Weblogs.

A very interesting paper, although I have to read the part about social and informational links again. I would have liked to know which weblogs she used to come to her conclusions about the difference between movable type blogs and blogger-blogs, or if she is talking about generic blogs - in which case I would like to know how many blogs she studied to come to her conclusion.
