Death of a Charlotte Blogger

Recently, a local blogger died after a 4 day bout with lung cancer. In fact, her death was so quick, she died before the diagnosis was actually made.

Her friends and family were overwhelmed with the support they received from the "strangers" who got to know her through her 12 weeks of posting. This blog is a bit different in that not only was it about her personal life as a working mother, she also shared a lot of her wit and wisdom about Charlotte parenting.

It's an interesting example of that overlap in networking between FtF and CMC that we've been talking about in class. Also, could this be an example of how social capital moves back and forth between online and FtF? What do you think?
