Harvard blogs in the news.

Winer's work to establish blogging at Harvard makes Business Today.  This quote describes a situation common to all universities.

In a diverse institution such as Harvard, he said, individual schools and research centers often don't communicate well with one another.

``We wondered, can we try some new technology to break down the barriers? Blogs can be that technology,'' Palfrey said.

The project will provide blogging guidance and software to anyone with a harvard.edu e-mail address. People will be encouraged to share ideas on what is happening in their corner of the university.

When you consider the diverse research taking place, providing a platform where people can find complimentary information to help them find new ideas and products should be a goal we can all agree on.
