Has blogging gone by the wayside? - Is it no longer cool to blog? - Does it take up too much time?

I have noticed that there is definately less blogging going on in the new Sabb Team. I'm not sure why this is, but it's a shame, it was always amusing to find out what was on the mind of the sabbs, like trying to understand Ben Norman's view on the world, or just generally find out how much work goes on in the sabb office. It was good and useful when i could find out about Upcoming Events and Campaigns just from reading the blogs - one click from the homepage, nice and easy!

This year there seem to only be three blogs from the "staff". One about Graduation, one detailing (and usefully explaining) Who runs what at the Union, and rather confusingly one about "Upcoming Events" but it goes to a different blog to the person who the front page says it's from!

I'm having an on the spot wonder *NB: Not yet complete*... if UPSU staff (certainly all sabbs), now have these fancy new O2 mobile phones. These mobile phones, I'm lead to believe are very good at using the internet, (even for streaming flash videos!), could it not be possible to have more diary entries from the 6 people that we, as students elected.

Passing thought:.. could we "Twitter them up", and have a twitter feed on the homepage "<name> is making tea in the sabb office". .. no?

Just some random thoughts.
