블로그는 현재 광범위하게 대중성을 얻고 있는 온라인 커뮤니케이션의 최근 형태이며, 블로그 사용이 빠른 속도로 주류를 형성해 나가고 있다. 초기 HCI 분야에서의 온라인 커뮤니케이션(CMC)에 대한 연구는 사용자가 시스템의 소프트웨어나 하드웨어의 인터페이스를 어떻게 대하는가 하는 점에 초점이 맞춰졌었지만, 최근에는 온라인 커뮤니티, 블로그처럼 사용자들이 인터넷을 통한 사회화가 어느 때보다 활발하게 이루어지고 있기 때문에, 시스템의 사용성에 대한 고려만으로는 충분하지가 않다. 즉, 시스템이 어떻게 사용자들 간에 사회적 상호 교류를 지원할 수 있고, 이러한 사회적 교류가 원활하게 이루어지기 위해서 시스템이 어떻게 설계되어야 하는 지에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 블로그 이용자들을 대상으로 이들과 상호 연결된 블로거들과의 온라인에서의 관계적 행위를 살펴보고, 또한 이러한 행위가 네트워크 구조적 특성과는 어떠한 상관 관계를 가지는지를 심층 인터뷰와 사회 네트워크 분석법을 이용하여 탐색적으로 알아보고자 한다. 본 연구 결과를 통해서 얻은 사용자들의 온라인 교류 시 보이는 행위적 특성을 바탕으로 온라인 개인 미디어 서비스 설계에 대한 가이드라인을 제안해 보고자 한다.
