I use campaign monitor and each department or area is set us as a client. They pay for sending the emails themselves using their department credit cards. They send emails using templates that I design based on their needs.
It is somewhat time consu…
We are considering contracting with an e-mail marketing service that provides an "agency" or "org" edition. We'd set up our departments as clients, provide templates, and let them handle it from there. But right now, we're unsure of how we'd cover t…
We use "Zenphoto", it's a php application that runs on your server, and it's almost as easy as Flickr. It's a temporary measure, as our library is building a custom image repository system for the university.
I like Flickr for public sharing, but w…
We are planning to hire a student intern in this position in the fall. Currently, our alumni department has a student intern doing this.
First: this is not another thread about “what newsletter service do you recommend”.
Rather, my question is, to what extent does your central Communications / PR office support email newsletters by departments and other campus units? Some of whom ha…
Also interesting to me is that the homepage design was copied by our own bookstore, without our (Public Affairs Office) knowledge or input:

We're not sure if they did it because they thought it was a good solution for a…
Good writeup there, as well.
For what it's worth, we presented the original Pentagram design for Brown University at An Event Apart New York, in July 2006, for an open critique. Several well-known web designers, whose names you would recognize, pra…
They should have given you a link, as well. Yours is the best writeup of the matter (as you're the only one who understood to look at the underlying code).

We've been exploring SocialEngine for the last few weeks and just made the purchase this morning. It has "subnetworks" within your installation, which I believe will help you keep folks separate and achieve what you're looking for. We bought one lic…
Hey everyone, just wanted to toss out some shameless self promotion. My .eduGuru blog posting about the #heweb09 Great Keynote Meltdown of 2009 was nominated for the Edublog Most Influential Blog Post of 2009. We'd love it if you'd take a second and…

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.
Thanks in advance for any info,

I work in the Marketing & Public Relations department. We started our first college Facebook page. We call it the official college page. Other departments have Facebook pages, such as the Library, eLearning, Student Services, etc. All Facebook pages…
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.
