[Air-l] Location specific blogs

[Barry Wellman]

Dear CITSniks & AoIRians,

Noted urban sociologist Sharon Zukin and grad student Valerie Trujillo are
studying location-specific blogs -- those that identify/represent
themselves as being from a certain place. (My suggested title: "A Blog
Grows in Brooklyn"). Can you help them with lit?

Their query is below.
Please respond to VTrujillo at gc.cuny.edu
