"Is Blogging Good for the Brain?"

Yes:

So blogging may combine the best of “working by yourself” and “working with other people.” Bloggers have solitary time to plan their posts, but they can also receive rapid feedback on their ideas. The responses may open up entirely new avenues of thought as posts circulate and garner comments.

In conclusion, it looks as if blogging will be very good for our brains. It holds enormous potential in education, and it could take societal communication and creative exchange onto a whole new level.

That’s from a couple of MD-type people doing serious scientifical research stuff. What they left out is, that VodkaPundit readers get all that and an excuse to drink, too.
