I just received a notice from The Pew Internet & American Life Project that their new Research Center site is up.
The site offers original content and serves as a portal to the latest findings from Pew's 7 projects:
* Pew Research Center for the People & the Press
* Project for Excellence in Journalism
* Stateline.org
* Pew Internet & American Life Project
* Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life
* Pew Hispanic Center
* Pew Global Attitudes Project
I mine Pew findings regularly and consider it the the most accurate source of online research data. Their newest publication, by director Lee Rainie, explores tagging and includes an interview with author David Weinberger.
For other recent comments by Lee, see the September 2006 Interview with the Experts at The Digital Sanctuary. If you're interested in a nonpartisan analysis of the uses of new media & religion, Pew is your best resource.
Again, here's the link: http://pewresearch.org/

Guess if it was just for people involved in \”traditional\” journalism, bloggers would not have had a chance. Good post.
Ashish, Glad to know you have been a regular reader for awhile. Pew is the best source for tracking online activity and they’ve been doing it long enough to have a data archive that charts the diffusion of many media related innovations; their demographic data alone makes them a worthwhile read.
Thats really Great.I will be looking into it from now.Since I hate reading newspapers, the online archives will serve me the purpose.Thanks for the tip.
