Breaking News from the BBC
This "breaking news" item doesn't really belong in this workshop, but thanks to Dindy for sending it to me. It does really show how blogs are becoming commonplace (there is a blog created every 5.8 seconds--although we don't know how many are deleted or inactive.... ;) The politics of blogging is perhaps something the SFL should consider. An institutional policy on blogging might be in order...if anyone from SFL Admin is in the workshop, you might ruminate on this point and perhaps put a proposal together. I do, however, like the 'transparency' of blogosphere, but as professionals we do have to respect certain morals and ethics. Perhaps one of you would like to pursue this in your own blog???
Anyway--fascinating article...if you're having lunch in your office, well worth a read. Thanks Dindy!! Nice to still have you around, if only as a 'virtual' Dindy!

In the article, it says "Mr Hopkins said that the blogsphere - which is doubling every five months - was powerful because it takes so little time and expertise to create a blog." Then how come it took me ages even to become a member?
Well, it may be because we are in Cyprus and our Internet backbone is weak. Also, although the learning curve is very shallow, it is a new thing for most of us, so the initial steps into blogosphere can be a bit fuzzy. However, once you get the hang of it, it's easier than e-mail. It can also depend on the blog server that you use...I think Blogger is one of the easier ones to use that I've come across.
