What’s that? You were born ready? Well, good because the university has just started The Berkeley Blog–subtitled “Provocative Thinking from UC Berkeley”–which we have to admit doesn’t look very blog-like just yet. It looks a little more like an “online forum.” But hey, we don’t want to get into semantics or the usefulness of starting a “blog” just to say you have one. (You know what we mean … )
That being said, the concept could still be pretty cool if people actually participate. From the looks of the site, in its testing phase anyway, moderators or whoever’s designated to be in charge of this thing are going to ask timely and controversial questions, and faculty will respond, using their vast oceans of untapped knowledge. Then other faculty and the general public can join in the discussion.
So far they’ve got questions up about “Arts for low income kids,” global warming and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Fascinating, huh? Huzzah, personal engagement with experts!
