Where'd the Spartan Blogs Go?

First off, let me say that I'm impressed that the Spartan Daily has started blogging, but where did its writers go?


The last entry on The Spartan Blog is timestamped as being from September 10th, 2006. It just seems to me that with close to 30,000 students with close to 30,000 lives and ideas and problems, there'd be more to say.

If nothing else, the Daily could aggregate a list of blogs from students in the SJSU community it respects and blogroll them on the Daily's website.

I am anxious to see how the blog evolves as the semester progresses.







When the Story is a Story

It was brought to my attention today by Steve Sloan that the Skype ban story is a story in and of itself.


The mere fact that it has been driven largely by students and teachers blogging online is a first for Silicon Valley.

I am unaware of another policy in San Jose's history that has been challenged and received such link-love on technorati as the proposed Skype ban.

Hmmm.
