I'm reading this now: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-SharePoint-2007-Solutions-Programmer/dp/0470124490
And have this to read after readying the book above:

I have been using Constant Contact for about 2 years now and really like it. It gave me enough control that I could go in and tweak using HTML and CSS if I wanted to, but also gave my student workers and other non-techie people the ability to build…
TargetX is another to consider: http://targetx.com/express-email.php
I also recommend people take a look at Karlyn's guidelines (and also recommend taking a look at Fire Engine Red
I think there are two big differences between the two:
1) FER is a higher ed company, and they understand the unique challenges of the industry
2) If I recall correctly, MyEmma inserts their branding in your footer. I always think its a good idea to…
Also I looked at constant contact and it was out of our price range.
We use MailChimp for a newsletter we send out and I have found it to be excellent. I highly recommend them. www.mailchimp.com
We've been using Emma (myemma.com) for the last two months and love them. Granted, we are using it on a smaller scale than you are looking for. We send around 30-50k a month in 3 - 5 blasts.
I use Mailchimp for my business and have been really impressed with them so far
Has anyone used Mailchimp?
I can echo the love for Campaign Monitor. I don't have much experience with other vendors, but CM is great. Very easy to use interface so we can offload campaign creation to less technical users. It's pay per e-mail, so your volume will determine wh…
We use campaign monitor and I love them.
We're shopping for an e-mail provider, too, and so far Bronto is the leader. We do need to schedule a Fire Engine Red demo, though.
Also, Karlyn didn't mention it, but she wrote a good set of guidelines for selecting an email service provider last…
We send all of ours in house using "Email Marketer" from interspire.

Mailchimp, Emma, Real Magnet, Exact Target, Silverpop, Vertical Response....hope this helps! :-)
Thanks for the info Karlyn! I like the fact that they are in Philadelphia (we're in Delaware) and that they are small.
I will definitely check them out and schedule a demo.
I need at least 2 more recommendations, anyone have any other suggestions?

Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has used Ustream for holding online chats and/or webinars with prospective students? Thoughts?
Are there other applications/software I should check out other than Ustream?
Thanks.
We also have a link in our footer. "jobs@SAU"
Thanks for the recommendation! It's actually right here on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet….
Yes, we have a link in the footer of our home page, www.albany.edu
The absolute best place to start is with this book: Content Strategy for the Web by Kristina Halvorson. In just 172 pages she covers the what, the how, the who and the why. It hits on making the business case for content, measurement, governance, et…
My colleagues and I are sketching out a new process for periodic content review of our university's entire website — and we'd love to hear how you do this.
I'm not talking about the kind of review that happens when new content is created or when it…

This has come up for us recently as well and we are getting ready to add it in there. The page you land on will allow you to go to staff positions, student positions as well as faculty positions which are (of course) all separate!

Hi all, I've just started a project to implement Harris Connect as an alumni portal/crm system and I'm looking for any success/horror stories that may be out there. Of most interest are any strategies that people have used for integration of Harris'…
