The incipit of an item in the Courier Mail:
FACEBOOK and Twitter may have a healing power once harnessed by ancient Greek philosophers, according to a new Queensland study.
PhD student Theresa Sauter, from the Queensland University of Technology, is examining how social-networking websites help people form their own identity.
“Social-networking sites, blogs, online discussion forums and online journals represent modern arenas for individuals to write themselves into being,” Ms Sauter said.
“A lot of people see social networking as a new way for people to interact but I’m interested in examining it as a way to form an identity and understand ourselves.”
Ms Sauter’s research will focus on the history and benefits of writing about oneself.
“The ancient Greek philosophers used a reflective notebook to write down what they had read and their thoughts on it,” she said.

Really? Can’t recall a mention of a ‘reflective notebook’ myself …

Could she be thinking of Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations?
I thought of that … but he isn’t ‘Greek’ …
This doesn’t sit well with me – QUT hasn’t had a lecturer in Classics in years and hardly has a handful of humanities staff left – I doubt whether Theresa has had anyone professionally involved in Classics look at this and the Courier Mail is notoriously sensationalist around here.
