Here’s one in the eye for those who think that bloggers such as I and Peter Black are sad, dysfunctional, introvert, no-mate geeks who should get out more and interact with real people.
Research conducted at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, concludes that blogging can help you feel "less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your friendships, both online and face-to-face".
The study found that:
“Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people and feeling more confident they could rely on others for help.”
All this is good to know, although I have to say that, as a political blogger, I tend, almost by definition, to disagree with most of my colleagues, so “like-minded” is not, perhaps, precisely the right word.
I’m sure, however, that I could call upon David Cornock for support if ever I found myself in a really tight spot.

Then of course there a sub breed of bloggers like Glyn Davies ,the ex arsembly member who seems to relish the eccentric interaction with his few of readers.
Not sure as to whether his blog is not some sort of nationalist blog in disguise or not.
It's all very amusing though!
"Peter Black said...
Just for the record Glyn I had my mobile switched off from 10.30am to 2.30pm yesterday as I was with the Queen. It was only when I switched it back on that I got messages asking me to appear on Richard Evans's show. Too late. "
What he never mentioned was which queen was he with?
What a prat he is!
Peter the Prat.
May well stick that!
Is Brynly Williams still an Assembly member for North Wales?
Notice he shares a local office with you, the rest of us have not not seen or heard of him for some time.
Ah, Brynly,
highly ineffective chap,his words were loud,his actions lacking.
Gives us a bad name that one, nose in the trough!
Carol,
the average Joe Public would not even know who the man is, those that do, have not a lot to say about him, well not good any way!
I have said before, needs to take control of his Cardiff office and pull his finger out.
Empty vessals and all that!
David must feel like he is pushing treacle up hill having to carry some of the well paid Conservative team.
