Ethics and Blogging 2

Today I had another (see Ethics of Blogging) interesting discussion about the ethics of using blogs for research with folks from health studies. We taped it and hope to put it up as a podcast. Some of the participants are from a team that is exploring this and they have started a blog, Web Finds. I think there is something consistent in a circular way about a research team using a blog to keep track of, link to, and ping, other blogs they are reading as evidence. They, in effect, make their research trajectory open in the same way as that of their “subjects”.
