I would think you could embed a YouTube video with a link, let's see how this works: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hey class, I would like to test this out as a communication tool for our class. Here are some ideas on how we can use it:

to share and discuss topics related to your class, to trouble shoot technical issues, to connect with other students, to crowdsource knowledge and lessons, to brainstorm and to take quick polls.. I believe you can post media here as well.

Remember that the same rules that apply in Andover Public apply to you here :)

You can post, vote up, vote down and share....

I am wondering the same thing William. Were you able to figure it out?

Testing out Disqus comment platform. Google Sites does not have a comment system. This is a hack I found. You can try it out and use your Google account to sign in and create an account. It looks like all the comments will funnel into one, which I'm not sure if is by design or a downfall of the hack. Google is supposedly working on a comment system that will rival this one, we'll probably use this one till then! Let me know what you think...

Re: Peter Chiarelli: Salary Cap Extraordinaire

Great analysis. It shows how difficult these decisions are and how much scenario analysis plays into the GM's work. It is interesting that once again, the third line will be the question mark. From what I know and read, it sounds like lines 1 and 2 will be fine, and 4 will be great again as long as Campbell is healthy. I think Paille could play on the third line too. I have no idea about the prospects like Reilly Smith. But as far as the Seguin deal, I think if just one of the prospects can contribute right away beyond Ericksson, then that is a really good deal.

Re: Two Things to Understand About Employee Social Media Participation

Great post Amber. When I was leading Social Media at City Year I spent more than half of my time on policy, governance and "training the trainers" to enable staff to communicate on behalf of their own personal brand and City Year's brand. And oh yes! I agree. It is more about a culture change than operations.

How sweet it is! Now that's a game-changer! But you already knew that... take care Sachin.

Sachin,

Thanks for the response. Really nice to hear plans for the site directly from the founder!

I'm researching and recommending ways that large nonprofits and government (local and regional planners) can engage community members in a grassroots/participatory blogging system.

Right now, my top guns are wordpress, tumblr, and posterous; and frankly we just might use all three! Lots to do.

I have to say I was impressed with your facebook photo integration, I haven't seen anything close to that! Do you plan on providing support for facebook pages? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Michael Messina

I hear you on that one Chris. I often wonder would my professors and colleagues could offer more than just their classrooms and books - not that I don't value that deeply. It would be nice to see more smarties take to the blog.

Re: ALERT: Facebook Scammers Turn to TinyURLs

Michael Messina — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:05:11 -0000

Has anyone had their bit.ly links or other short urls convert to another shorty url without authenticating? For example, I had a couple of bit.ly links go out via ping.fm, never had a problem, by the time they got to MySpace and Facebook they turned into another short url - one from http://u.mavrev.com the other from http://lnk.ms. If anyone has any ideas on what's going on, please let me know. Thanks!
