I was just looking back through webpostings I'd made for another class on Serendip, and I realized that one has a lot of comments on it.  It's a research paper I wrote on ataxia (actually pretty boring, the worst thing I wrote for the class), but a lot of people have commented sharing their own stories of dealing with ataxia, and lending their support to other commentors.  I messed around with google, and found that searching for "ataxia stem cells" brings up my paper on the second page, so I'm sure these people found it while doing their own research; they're not people from the class or anything like that.

It's interesting, since we've been talking about the community aspect of blogs, that a small community has popped up on this one post that I didn't think anyone else would ever read.  It's not quite the level of community we usually associate with blogs (there's really no conversation going on), but it's certainly more than I expected to see.
