The Hootsuite blog
For almost a decade marketers, educators, and students have been using the social media “dashboard” created by Vancouver, BC’s Hootsuite to monitor their social networks, analyze the effectiveness and reach of their messages, “listen” to the many buzzes of the online world, … Continue reading
First Draft News
FirstDraftNews.com is a beautiful and wide-ranging resource created for journalists “who source and report stories from social media.” What is the best way to search for eyewitness media when a story breaks? What are the most efficient and effective ways to … Continue reading

Puzzling Advertising: Who is the intended audience?
This advertisement by Vanda Pharmaceuticals (shown a dozen times a day, it seems, on MSNBC) is for a drug called Hetlioz. (It’s very expensive.)

Smart/Dumb
In my profession some colleagues believe that marking hard – giving more D’s than B’s, for instance – correlates with a high level of “rigour” in teaching. To my mind, though, there is often no connection between grade distribution and … Continue reading
