Looks Like Cornell Has Discovered Blogging…

There have been a lot of articles floating around the Daily Sun since the beginning of the semester when Cornell decided to hire some student bloggers to serve as Cornell’s link to potential new students and to anyone else out there who reads blogs. Since then, all of a sudden, non-student blogging project blogs around Cornell have been getting a lot of attention. Christian has had a lot to say on the topic. His blog was even listed in the Daily Sun the other day. So were Elliott Back’s and Dean’s. Funny how these blogs that have been around for years in some cases are just getting attention now. Elliot posted a response of sorts to the Cornell Chronicle’s most recent article attempting to compile a more comprehensive list. I was on that list.
So what’s the point? Well, I’ve never really considered myself a “Cornell Blogger”. I don’t really center my posts around Cornell itself, although most of them tend to at least mention it because, well, I spend 24/7/300something there. I guess I never realized that I was a “Cornell Blogger” until I appeared in Elliott’s list. I go to Cornell…and I blog… I guess it makes sense. It’s funny when you fail to realize the obvious.
I’m glad I wasn’t listed in the Daily Sun though. I like my blog to be kept out of print. I feel more able to say whatever I want. :D

  1. It wasn’t the Sun, it was the Chronicle, the official newspaper at Cornell. We all know the Sun would never give such an objective, in-depth list of unofficial bloggers at Cornell; they care more about Cornell’s image than Cornell does!

  2. Thanks! Should have done some fact-checking first! I was on the site too, just neglected to read the header. -off to edit- You’re definitely right. The Sun did have a much better article on it (as you pointed out in your blog).

  3. Jenn - It’s too bad you don’t want more people to read your blog, it’s a good one - and at least up to date. I was going to add it to the Chronicle list after Elliott’s addemdum but will respect your wishes… (of course, even if you had 1,000,000 readers, you could still ’say whatever [you] want’!)

  4. Dan,

    Add away if you want. I rarely have anything to say that would offend others in the first place, so the need to filter is pretty slim. Thanks for the compliment though, I appreciate the recognition. It’s nice to know people are actually reading what I write!

  5. I LOVE YOU. I <3 <3 <3 you!!! You succeed where thousands have failed in correctly spelling my name! OMG. Call in favours plz.
