Why Blog?

So why have I set up this blog? Will it be more than a passing fad in my life (like Second Life, Facebook etc.)? Given that I've never managed to succesfully keep a diary it might be a bit of a struggle to keep this one going but I'll give it a shot. I have several reasons for setting this up:

• I have been doing a Masters module at work on IT in Higher Education and this blog might help me to work through some of my thoughts on this
• My managers have assigned me a project to look at Web 2.0 and how we might use it in our department so ditto
• Doesn't everybody have a blog these days?

So we'll see how it goes.
