OK, I'm not sure I follow this argument and maybe it is only peculiar to HE.
Can you imagine the employees of the sony corporation (or any other) asking
for space on the sony website to display pictures of their hobbies, family,
cats and holidays?
The web isn't print, I agree that far, but just because it is an immediate
medium we don't have to treat it with a certain lack of respect? especially
if we are expecting other institutions, funding bodies, prospective students
to take us seriously!
