At UW-Madison, we are currently conducting a series of studies revolving around blogs: http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/blog-club/Site/Home.html So far we have surveyed both blog readers and bloggers and also experiment based studies, having blogs as central pieces in the manipulations, are being explored. Let me know if you need more info than the one you can find at the website. HGZ

I have a couple advisees examining blogs (from and about China) and these are mostly being used as methodological tools - I will pass this on to them and see if they have anything for you.
Mostly though cyber-anthropology, cyberethnography , virtual ethnography and so on are methodologies developed in interaction with various online interfaces and we work on extending them in order to work with blogs and other online/offline intersections. As you point out - they dont explicitly talk about blogs or other online fora as methodological tools - but in engaging blogs as "tools" one must also understand life and living at these sites in order to understand their limitations and possibilities while examining them as "data".

Does anyone have any recommendations or references which might be helpful in trying to find out if there is any methodological research around blogs or photoblogs as ways of collecting data from participants or acting as fieldwork/visual diaries? And are there any other research groups interested in this?
