112 - Cyber-Catharsis
[Excerpt of a Washington Post article] Walker White never kept a diary, but when his wife, Lindsay, was diagnosed with lymphoma in April, he started a Web log.
What began as a message center about tests, spinal taps and diagnoses evolved into a kind of personal journal, he said. "It became pretty clear to me it was an outlet for me," said White, 39, who lives and works in Washington. "I think it made me think through the issue and it made me think about what lay behind us and what lay ahead of us."
The Internet is now teeming with some 15 million blogs. Nearly half of bloggers consider it a form of therapy, according to a recent survey sponsored by America Online Inc.
