Ulrich is a journalist doing public relations for the Technische Universitat Dresden’s Civil Engineering department. (His presentation is here.)

He tried to get 50 faculty members to start up a weblog. It was difficult to cajole them into it. He wants them to write in a journalistic style, not academic.

He needed simple tools and thus turned to blogger.com, although he would like to be able to search and comment.

The site has been up for about half a year. It has a small following, but Ulrich is working on make it more valuable and more known.
