From Romensko:
Three out of 10 bloggers in Norway blog about their mental problems. According to an analysis of 100 Norwegian blogs, conducted by Univero Fishnet, the blog has come to substitute for the old diary, not only in the sense of a serving as a journal, but also as a place to express one’s deepest feelings.
Says analyst Ole Petter Nyhaug to VG Nett (Norwegian language), “It’s frightening what serious problems young people give away in their blogs. For eight out of 10, blogging is a sort of self therapy.”
Not a huge sample size, but interesting nevertheless.
