With over 70 million blogs worldwide this new breed of online
commentating has taken the Internet by storm and has the potential to be
a significant source of information, debate and research material for
social scientists.
As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science 7th -16th March 2008,
Intute: Social Sciences will be featuring a series of articles by their
subject editors on the blogs they find the most useful in their work.
Whether it is online sources of political gossip, an insight into the
latest economic issues or how psychological research may tell you more
about what you are thinking and why, let the editors at Intute: Social
Sciences guide you to through the Social Science blogosphere - or at
least the parts of it, that they like the most!
Visit
Festival and you will find a new article picking out some Favourite
Blogs, why not also join the conversation and tell the social science
community about some of your favourites.
