Today at the Web Task Force Meeting at Gettysburg we had a discussion that centered around Social Networking. I actually did a demo of Twitter (see previous post) at the meeting today where I showed the tool and some of the uses and then how it is starting to work with other social networking sites like Facebook. I thought the task force was quite impressed with how it updated my Facebook status.
2 other sites that our VP of Information Technology Rod Tosten talked about were interesting and I thought worth checking out:
1. DIGGO – http://www.diigo.com/ – a research and knowledge sharing tool where you can put “sticky notes” and highlight webpages and people in your group can then see them. I have not had an opportunity to try it yet but thought I would share the url here.
2. Jott – http://www.jott.com/ – for those of you who spend a lot of time in the car this one has real power. You are able to send an email from your cell phone.

Twitter and Jott play well together, too.

At W&M, we are planning now to transition our Web Redesign Advisory Committee into a permanent advisory and governance group for the web our our campus.

Your insights and successes with such a group would be very helpful. Any future blog posts planned for the topic of web governance?

Sounds like a good topic for a post – I will have to put something together
