Hi Deborah, Our URL shortener is available to everyone, for now We are keeping an eye on it and if it becomes too big a load on our servers we may restrict it to @sfu.ca accounts. It has been up and running now for almost 2 months and we have had no…
Well, I am not sure what our tech guys did to our installation but it works in IE for us. I'd be happy to connect you up with the guy who set this all up for our school. (he did it all in about a day and a half!
We used Get Shorty. http://get-shorty.com/ We wanted the branding of the SFU.CA website and to date have left it open. (we may change this in the future if we get to much spam using it) We have set it up for i.sfu.ca get.sfu.ca and at.sfu.ca
annual conference for higher education professionals who are involved in any step of the strategy, design or development of an institution's/department's website
Yea! Glad there is a group for those of us from the great white north!
Like many others are saying, what ever is easier for you Mark. My 2 cents worth is I'm glad you are not restricting this to .edu addresses as Higher Education institutions in Canada do not use .edu.

- Hi Steve: Hope all is well. Haven't had a chance to keep intouch with our web launch. Launched phase one in Oct.
Also was wondering if you could forward that great travel site you were telling us about. Thanks.

It was great meeting you! did you get back ok? we sat for about 5 or 6 hours in the plane before it was canceled, of course then we had to try to find a hotel room which was an 87$ cab ride away then we rented a car and drove home in 8.5 hours, though I guess that wasn't an option for you! :o)

Same story at SUNY-ESF -- Ning network for accepteds rolled out 1/08 with a plan to 'retire' it, well, now actually, and then to relaunch for the next class. The network had student ambassador and admissions staff members, and it included dedicated…
Groundswell is great
Hi Fellow Canadians,
I'm looking for recommendations on email marketing providers that are based (or at least their server is based) in Canada. I've been using MailChimp out of the US, and it's great, but because of BC's privacy law I can only gath…
Hi all,
We are looking into a tool, software or vendor that could help us develop an online student orientation. Which would include video and flash elements. We recently reviewed Comevo and was wondering if anyone knows of other companies/vendors t…
This company (http://www.universityparent.com/edu) was mentioned at a meeting today, and I was wondering if anyone had any insights as to whether this sort of thing is commonplace, practical, useful, etc.

Thank you, everyone for your replies. The powers that be are asking us to test a new program called "Socialtivity" created by a local developing company. I'll let ya'll know how it plays out.
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,
Annalisa
The new State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, website looks great and was quickly launched using OmniUpdate’s OU Campus web CMS.

I usually argue that when used appropriately, it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. If they aren't abused, having them on your page isn't going to hurt you, and just because Google doesn't use them doesn't mean others…
