The University of Bath Web Services team didn’t expressively request any help, but if any higher ed web developer can provide some tips, it looks like it would be more than welcome as Phil Wilson hints in this blog post: So, two days in, and dealing with FBML, the Facebook API and the low quality […]

I’m late to the party for final thoughts about the eduWeb conference, because I’ve just made it back home. Technically, I could have driven back home yesterday, but just chose to meet with family and have some fun after a 2-day long journey from Atlantic City. For those of you who didn’t follow me on […]

When I was asked to present the closing keynote at eduWeb 2008 last October, I said to myself: “this is great! For the first time in my life, I’m 100% sure I will have the last word ;-)” Then, when I picked my topic, “It’s the community, Stupid! 7-step plan to raise and nurture any […]

Chances are you’ve already read this article published today in the New York Times: College Alumni Magazines Struggle to Compete With Facebook.

UPDATE: Facebook doesn’t support anymore the process described in this post. Sorry :( 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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]
