Charlie Lowe ponders whether or not blogs will become the next email or IM craze for college students. I personally wonder if blogs can ever reach that level if students see them as being educational tools. I also wonder if something that is not synchronous can ever have the same level of immediate gratification that one gets from IM. Most of the complaints that I hear from students about blogs is the permenance of the medium. Students worry about accountability when their words are made public and "permanent" on the Web.
