As you probably know if you’ve been reading this blog for some time, Facebook pages have been a late addition to the feature list of the social networking website.
Last November, Facebook pages were launched as a way to provide businesses, brands, organizations and higher ed institutions with a way to set their own profile on […]

I had a very interesting experience this morning presenting a session about higher ed podcasting in the US to a room full of people at the University of Warwick in the UK.
No long flight or dreadful jet lag required (but no nice sightseeing in the UK either :-).
I did my presentation using WebEx […]

Higher Ed Experts was officially launched on April 23, 2007.
It was supposed to go live on April 17, but it just didn’t feel right to do it as scheduled after the tragedy that stroke Virginia Tech. As you can imagine, I had many sleepless nights in April 2007 working on the launch of this new […]

Just forward this article published yesterday in the eMarketer newsletter (but hurry, these are usually only accessible for a limited-time only): “Student Noses Buried in Facebooks”.

According to a tip from a reader, I should be able to add a new entry to my higher ed facebook application directory soon.

If this email from US News & World Report (that was forwarded to me this morning) is to be believed, this application will be launched along with a Facebook page for the […]

By now, you’ve probably heard (or seen on TV or on the Web) what happened last night at Union University in Jackson, TN.
As reported by Ashley Anthony of The Jackson Sun in “Union University tornado damage update”, 2 dormitories were destroyed in Tuesday night’s tornado, 51 students were taken to the hospital and 9 stayed […]

I’ve just filled out an online survey from Jupiter Research about online social marketing with lots of questions about blogs, social networking websites, facebook widgets (or applications as they are called by facebook) and the likes.
While more and more big brands are starting to engage their target audiences on facebook via these applications, only a […]

My first UB column for 2008 (geez, I’m starting my third year with University Business, time passes by so quickly) is now available in the February issue as well as online: “Facebook Applications: The Game Changer?”

I borrowed the catchy title from Allegheny College Mike Richwalsky’s and Josh Tischianey’s presentation at HighEdWebDev in Rochester, NY.
