We've been studied!

Yesterday I was doing some long neglected web server maintenance and figured out how to get into the statistics section and find all the sites that have linked to this site. Usually I use Technorati for this but it doesn't give as much information.

I was pleased to discover that the New Orleans bloggers were studied this past semester at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) as a new media case study.

I do question a bit what exactly were were a case study of - unhinged potential vigilantes, civil dissidents, or potential first residents of the upcoming free speech gulag wing of Guantanamo? Perhaps I shouldn't be so paranoid and we were just representative citizen journalists in the new media. Anyway, either we are all famous, FAMOUS, or some of our readers may have been just doing their homework. I thought you might be interested to hear it.
