31 of the 115 respondents had also met people in the flesh whom they had originally come to know through weblogging.

What these statistics mean:

With 87% of participants interacting with webloggers in ways other than simply reading and commenting on blogs, the statistics tells us that webloggers are highly communicative and interactive people. They do not just maintain their weblogging relationships through the medium of weblogging, but instead branch out to other communication modes. They are willing to go beyond the given medium when developing and maintaining relationships they first found through weblogging.
