Hello all,
Wondering how many members host their college web sites in house and how many contract the services of an external host? What factors lead to your decision? If you host your site in house, who does the server maintenance- yourself/someone…

Group for users of ActiveAdmissions CMS
OmniUpdate has completed end-user OU Campus CMS training for Sullivan County Community College – State University of New York. We anticipate great results from this great group of people, and look forward to working with them in 2010!
Have you looked at http://www.thindata.com/ and http://www.campaignmonitor.com? Not sure if they offer everything that you are looking for but their emails are well designed in my opinion.
Anyone have any recommendations for books/papers on Social Media and/or "Web 2.0"
Thanks very much,
