With over 70 million blogs worldwide this new breed of online commentating has taken the Internet by storm and has the potential to be a significant source of information, debate and research material for social scientists.

As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science 7th -16th March 2008, Intute: Social Sciences will be featuring a series of articles by their subject editors on the blogs they find the most useful in their work. Whether it is online sources of political gossip, an insight into the latest economic issues or how psychological research may tell you more about what you are thinking and why, let the editors at Intute: Social Sciences guide you to through the Social Science blogosphere – or at least the parts of it, that they like the most!

Visit http://www.intute.ac.uk/socialsciences/blog each day during the Festival and you will find a new article picking out some Favourite Blogs, why not also join the conversation and tell the social science community about some of your favourites.
