How are you using it? Where are you using it? How are you making it degrade gracefully? What are you doing to make sure applications remain accessible?

I pretty much control our Facebook presence mostly unilaterally for the most part. I would be of the opinion that our Facebook community is part marketing, part admission (actually, that's not really opinion, as that's who runs it). I wouldn't pos...

Done.

I assume this is replacing your previous thread for the aforementioned reasons. Just shoot me a message if you want to go over anything I had mentioned earlier.
on Monday
Okay. Well, here's my suggestion: In my opinion, conversation that takes place outside of university controlled channels is largely outside of university regulation, except in cases where said communication directly impacts the college (i.e. talk...

I'm curious, you say "...students misunderstanding the boundaries of what's appropriate, but a couple times with faculty making the same mistake," which would imply to me you already know what should and shouldn't be allowed, which would further s...

Take a look at what we're doing over at nuCloud for folks. Got Belmont, USC Upstate, and soon Anderson launched on our interactive map platform. It's basically designed to be cheap and easy with very fast turnaround. Fire off an email to info (at)...

Ah, well that makes a pretty big difference. Then I'd say probably about a 15% increase in salary or $7500, whichever is more, unless they're making a pretty big jump up the ladder for it.

Primary Job Responsibility
I run and coordinate usage of our Watchfire WebXM web health monitoring software, and administer our Google Mini search server. I will also be the admin for our CMS, once we launch in 2008. I am the code monkey half of our web team, however full-on programming is not a primary responsibility. I do write some PHP scripts when needed though, and try to oversee the creation of clean and standardized HTML and CSS for the site. I'm also the primary contact point for 508/1210 compliancy issues. I also tend to stir the pot if I think something isn't being done in a relatively efficient manner.
Number of students at your institution
~7100

Book Review: Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig

"If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have caught on that I recently got into the book Free Culture: The Nature and Future of Creativity by Lawrence Lessig, one of many that I’ve been meaning to check off my least of to-reads. Let me spoil the review by telling you not to bother reading the review, ju… Continue

I'm using a version of PHPLive I've been customizing for the past few years. Although I've used the meebome widget before too. The nice thing about it is that if no one is online to answer the chat it prompts them to leave a message.

Our library staff initiated adding live chat and have had a good success with it. Now the admissions folks are interested in doing something similar. The real challenge is, of course, people managing the responses. The technology is fairly straigh...

Sent you a wave invite =).

I'm sure your friend added you. It takes an indeterminate amount of time for google to process the invite.

Mark you stated that you added me to your Google Wave but I have not received an invite yet. You can send it to dladner@nctc.edu or my gmail account at dxladner@gmail.com. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. I contacted Google ...

Share and discuss issues that focus on user-centered design.

I also have to agree with Michal here. The purpose of Facebook is one thing but I do not think it should be used for other purposes. And I back that with Chris, by saying there is a place for that and possible the homepage could be used for that p...

Unfortunately here at UT we have had to deal with this issue more than we would like to in the last three months. We had a student murdered walking home late from a party in August, a student killed in a hit and run on Friday, and another 3 studen...
