Thanks for the heads-up. We’re working up our plan for Twitter and this will be useful for our efforts.

Jeff, it seems to me that if someone is going to provide feedback of disagreement, then it is their responsibility to be a good bit more detailed in their position — or at the very least, provide a link to their own thoughts/blog.

The only thing I disagree with is that public schools might also be affected by derogatory updates on Twitter or Facebook. Perhaps we don’t lose customers’ bodies, but if a student comes into my classroom expecting a boring lecture or an irritable teacher, then I’ve probably lost something valuable — their eager attention.

Hi Jeff,

I would love to hear more about why you think I missed the point. Always looking for feedback on my posts.

My hope was to point out that social-media could/will have an effect on student enrollment in areas were competition for students is a factor. Here in Thailand for example we compete with other schools for expat students and I believe in the coming years if a school does not control its online profile and use it to send a positive message about the school it could cost schools tuition paying students.

Jeff, this a great post. The line of reasoning makes such good sense. Social networking is a great tool for promoting blogs and their business interests. Those that don’t take advantage are missing the boat. The down side is that “One Bad Twitter” does more harm than is should if the target is not proactive. b
