   Charlie Bertsch, an English professor at the University of Arizona, rated a respectable 3.5 out of 5 on the site. While, alas, he did not get a chile pepper, he did warrant a smiley face overall. Still, he said, he finds the site ridiculous, given that the statistical sample is so small, with only 10 students weighing in. "There's no screening or anything like that, and it's completely anonymous," he noted, adding he knows colleagues who have posted funny comments about other professors on the site as a joke. "It doesn't worry me so much, but at the same time, if a student has a vendetta and posts something that's unfair, it's pretty alarming that people will use that information to gauge the relative teaching ability of different people." A blogger himself, Bertsch is fascinated by how society is navigating new media, now that anyone with a blog can be a political pundit and anyone can get his or her 15 minutes of fame on YouTube. "The lines between public and private lives have blurred, leaving this in-between space. And the line between public figures and private figures has also substantially blurred," Bertsch said.

   You can read about his middle-aged, bürgerliches life and loves in De File, his personal weblog, in which he brings a fondness for dashingly subordinate clause-filled prose to bear on contemporary politics, popular music, sports, his obsessive-compulsive relation to "memorabilia" and his wonderful family.
