The Week in Links

I've been having a hard time posting links from this blog onto Facebook because the preview photos and headline aren't automatically populating. ANNOYING!

This little link has saved me many headaches over the years.

Check out this #casesmc Twitter chat recap, in advance of the upcoming CASE social media conference. I love going to CASE regional conferences, but I've never been to the SM conference. Might have to beg for a travel budget next year!

​Educational Marketing Group has put together a great list of examples of how colleges are using Vine. I've played around a bit with Vine for UP, and lo and behold, they included an absolutely awful video I took outside my office window. Yay! So proud.

Good list of best practices for Live Tweeting events from ​Steve Shattuck on Social Media Today.

​My most-clicked article this week: University of Michigan winning the internet with School Pride Pets.

​And finally... take it away Pulp, the correct answer to all those "Who's better: Blur or Oasis?" Brit-pop debates of yesteryear.
