Round-up

• The Economist puts blogging into perspective (Oh, grow up). It's no longer new and exciting - but it has entered the mainstream. Is that so bad?
• Facebook's also no longer new, but it's unquestionably popular. And it's continuing to grow. The reassuring thing is that it does such normal, conventional things: it allows people to talk to their friends and form communities of interest.
• I'm putting some time and energy into the PR student magazine, Behind the Spin after a long, sleepy summer break (what's the summer equivalent of hibernation: estivation?). There's some new content up there with more to follow. And we're always looking for ideas and for articles; check it out.

Looking forward to starting work on the spin if you still want your first year helpers!

Blogging - people have opinions and want to get their point across. The means to do so is at their fingertips and its easy! They can spread the word according to "Joe Bloggs" instantly and gain recognition for their contribution. We all like "fame"in some way or another and seeing our name up their is one way.
