Un article de Laura Gibbs a Xplana (Publishing as Teachers: What's Stopping Us?) qüestiona (amb prou seny) la implantació dels weblogs dins dels àmbits acadèmcs:
"Blogging is another interesting challenge to the traditional model of scholarly publishing, and this is why I suspect (sadly) that it will be a long time before it takes hold among university faculty. ...It makes so much sense. It is irresistibly appealing. And I am so afraid that it is not going to happen. Not while we are all still wringing our hands and trying so hard to be scholarly.Blogging, however, is a very teacherly thing. :-)"
