Pew: Internet Embiggens Us All

02:00 PM Jan 31, 2006

The Pew Internet & American Life Project has churned out another of its elucidating reports -- this on the Internet's importance in broadening and strengthening Americans' social networks.

As someone who met a spouse on ICQ -- to say nothing of where I draw my pay -- I'd have to say the study resonates.  But it should resonate with anyone working in politics, if last month's Annenberg study to the effect that people feel politically empowered by the Internet is anything to go by.

Maybe something worth asking around about in the open thread of your favorite blog during the evening's kabuki theater, if you're planning to subject yourself to it. (Unless I get word of some Dems frisky enough to, say, wave purple fingers around as a jeer, I'll pass.)
