University of Leicester Staff Blogs is such a great premise but it did not really hold too much promise to me. Perhaps I am too ethnocentric in that I am not as well-versed in politics that do not involve the Democrats and Republicans. I know, I need to be more global. I wanted to see more full fledged opinion pieces than information about new postings on YouTube or a link to TED TV.
Governments and Facebook by Andrew Dunn offered so much promise and yet the blog post was quite unsubstantial. I have heard the American side, both from the American people and our government. I have heard reports on NPR regarding the reactions from European government officials; I wanted more than that, I wanted a scholarly assessment and an opinion. Sadly, I did not feel that the blogs measured up to my expectations. They were neither scholarly or opinionated...they were simply informative. And the information was not as interesting or as exciting as I would have hoped.
