I went to del.icio.us the other day just to check out some more of the comments people left on Todd Defren’s Social Media Press Release and I was surprised at how many different opinions people shared. Some were all for it and others were totally against it. I will be interested to see how fast this catches on. I downloaded the example at home and e-mailed it to my dad and he was really impressed. He isn’t the best with technology but is very eager to learn anything I can teach him. He works at a bank here in Auburn and said he was going to share it with the Public Relations department in his office. It is amazing how fast the internet enables things to spread. See you in class.

Thanks, Todd. I will keep you posted.

The idea of “social outreach” via del.icio.us links for journalists is intriguing. We talked about it in class the other day. However, it seems we’ll have to get these classes up to speed on del.icio.us and other bookmarking / search sites, first.

Each semester is a learning curve and it differs from semester to semester. I’ll let you know how we do.

Thanks.

Hi Robert –
Please keep me posted on your wiki and any other (related) progress? Would love to keep tabs on the effort, as it grows!

I’d also encourage your students, if you think it’s promising, to think about how to incorporate “social outreach” into their tactical planning, e.g., using del.icio.us to create context-rich research pages to augment a journalists’ investigative assignments… Feel free to ping me on any of this!

Best,
Todd
