It's the archiving angle that intrigued me about this
archivists at the Bentley Library hope to preserve some of the postings in order to document student and academic life for future generations. Students may opt to put their blogs up for consideration through the site. Hollar said the preservation of blogs is a natural progression in archiving.
Could anyone really be bothered?

Spoon fed students?
Writing about web page http://www.thes.co.uk/current_edition/story.aspx?story_id=2027753
From latest Times Higher:
Undergraduates are entering university less numerate, literate and knowledgeable than ever before, according to the most comprehensive study undertaken of how university admissions staff view the latest intakes of students. Admissions tutors bemoaned new students' lack of independent thought, "fear of numbers" and expectations to be "told the answers" in a survey of staff from 16 Oxbridge, Russell Group and post-1992 institutions.
It's a leaked report and it's possible that THES has taken this out of context (not that they ever do that) but I wonder how widespread this perception is.
