Conference Notes
I’m here at the Web Communications and Strategies Conference at Salisbury University, in Salisbury Maryland. The first day was packed with great sessions. Blogs, wikis, RSS, and podcasting are really getting people excited, and it seems like there aren’t enough sessions on these topics to keep people satisfied.
Rob Pongsajapan did an excellent session on using blogging as an admissions tool (check out the wiki for his presentation). Rob had some helpful suggestions about the stakeholders and expectations that you might want to consider before jumping in. Watch here for the mp3 of his presentation by the end of the week.
I will be giving two presentations today — one at 11:30 (Intro to RSS for Marketing) and one at 3:15 (Importance of RSS to a University). Given the level of interest in RSS, podcasting, blogging, etc., I’m really looking forward to spending some time talking with people about RSS–how they’re using it in their universities, how they’re planning to use it, their concerns about using RSS, etc.
