Colleges Understand That Blogs Are Like Knives

Much has been written in the media about the dangers of blogging so it is so refreshing to see that colleges, or at least some colleges, are actually encouraging their students to blog. The career centers of Harvard University and University of Washington are leading what I hope will become a trend. They understand that blogs are like knives: they're dangerous in the hands of careless people but wonderful tools in the hands of those who are somewhat thoughtful and careful as they provide bloggers with a tremendous opportunity to improve both their personal and professional brand.
