I've been hearing a lot about your class, and I think it's great to see faculty on campus teaching young relevant and fresh ideas such as Social Media to students.

I was particularly impressed because I was focusing the lesson on the content of the letters, and you added another dimension to our discussion by pointing out the differences between the pictures. I am so glad that I get to have you in my class! Sarah, I think your insight about shareholder letter pictures is outstanding.

I look forward to reading your blog review of Accenture. I apologize for not e-mailing you about our additional class agenda item for Thursday. (For outside readers, I gave the same class lesson on Tuesday and Thursday due to a local public relations conference that most of my students attended.) John, thank you for your comment and suggestion to interview bloggers. At most universities, we are required to go through an ethics board (known as the IRB) for anything that involves surveying or interviewing. At the University of Oregon, we have a 12-page application to complete, in addition to appendices with our recruitment script and interview questions. The process takes time. By the time I complete the application, our spring classes will have ended. I could compete an application for the fall, but I wonder if there would still be blogs left to review by then.

Several reviewers have also conducted interviews with bloggers at Fortune 500 companies, I wonder if any of the students would consider doing that? The advantage is that you are able to ask questions about the background to a blog, that would not be obvious from looking outside. For instance you can ask how blogs are monitored by a company. thanks for including me in the discussion and encouraging your students to conduct reviews of the Fortune 500.

I like your suggestion. Now I feel like I should have attended class on Thursday instead of studying from home. I think online constructive criticism works fine for content related aspects. I enjoyed John's criticism of our fellow student blogs, and I hope I receive a similar treatment after I write about Accenture. But, as you address, editing of writing mechanics would sound weird on a comment. Really weird. My thoughts. Ben Tiffany,

I would love to be able to do something like that for my interests in animals. I would want to gear it towards animal rescue, but I wouldn't know where to begin! That is really great that your student was able to create a social networking site for her passion! Definitely something I would want to look into myself in the future. Wow, that is really great!
