U. of Michigan to Host Its Own Blogs

Blogspot, Livejournal, and the like will have to keep their eyes out for a new, and unlikely, competitor: The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

Following in the footsteps of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Michigan is offering free blogs to students, faculty, and staff. The university says its blog-hosting service, mBlog, isn't just a gimmick meant to amuse undergrads: Campus archivists will hand-pick blogs that may have historical value and archive their contents.
