- Title
Blogging Illness: Recovering in Public.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of blogs as a space for the detailed and on-going expression of the day to day experiences of sufferers of serious illness. It is stated that the blog is not the public face of private personal experience, but expressive of the life encompassed by that illness, and encompassing its author's ongoing personal transformation. It is also stated that the massification enabled by Internet technologies and applications will continue to transform the ways in which personal experience may be considered private.
