"By highlighting articles that may easily be passed over by the typical web user too busy to do more than scan corporate news sites, by searching out articles from lesser-known sources, and by providing additional facts, alternative views, and thoughtful commentary, weblog editors participate in the dissemination and interpretation of the news that is fed to us every day. Their sarcasm and fearless commentary reminds us to question the vested interests of our sources of information and the expertise of individual reporters as they file news stories about subjects they may not fully understand."

I tried a few weeks back to find information on UC Berkeley's Computer Science program and experienced server problems; the site wouldn't come up. A few days ago I remembered my interest and tried again to visit UC Berkeley's homepage and I still can't get through...I wonder what's wrong.
