I’ve got a good idea. Let’s ban kids from using social networks. Like YouTube in schools. We won’t educate them, we’ll just y’know, stop it. Oh we already ban YouTube? And we have the parents sign that their kids won’t go near  social sites? Good. Worked for those sexually adventurous teens in the 50′s didn’t it? I mean, we banned sex education and that stopped everything. Well, didn’t it? From Yahoo!Answers How do you hack Net Nanny? I have a friend who has a project due tomorrow for school. His parents are out of town, and his work involves looking Continue Reading…

Social Media Campaigns: please see your doctor if symptoms persist. Do you know someone a little social media…challenged? They might like to explore social media campaigns in some depth? My courses fill up pretty quick at the University of Sydney, but this semester we are running the course twice. To cater for extra interest. These are one-day professional development courses. They give an adhoc Facebook or Twitter user an overview of marketing into social network, and tools to engage, create, monitor, analyse social media marketing campaigns. And lunch.

Big news on Slashdot today: theodp writes “Confirming paranoid high-schoolers’ fears, a new Kaplan survey reveals that 10% of admissions officers from prestigious schools said they had peeked at sites like Facebook and MySpace to evaluate college-bound seniors. Of those using the profiles, 38% said it had a ‘negative impact’ on the applicant. ‘Today’s application is not just what you send … but whatever they can Google about you,’ said Kaplan’s Jeff Olson. At Notre Dame, assistant provost for enrollment Dan Saracino said he and his staff sometimes come across candidates portraying themselves in a less-than-flattering light. ‘It’s typically inappropriate Continue Reading…

Click logo, click IT, click web development – their link thing is a bit dodgy. I’m teaching a one day (Saturday) How To Blog course at the University of Sydney, Australia (general link) Centre for Continuing Education next Saturday, 24th November. It will be the first time I’ve taught this particular course, so goodness only knows what kind of a schmozzle it will end up. But if you are game, or want to escape the kids/housework/washing the car for a few hours, you can download a .pdf (don’t roll your eyes!) or register here. We have enough people for the Continue Reading…
