How do you craft a set of guidelines around a topic that is loosely defined and ever changing, for use by an audience that has diverse needs and interests? This sums up the task we face with drafting “social media guidelines” for the university.

On the Radar: September 2010
Here are a few things that are on the radar (and as a result, on my mind) these days in the world of social media at UBC, each item intentionally without much context, and listed here just as a reminder and to trigger thoughts:
- UBC Blogs mark II: Going social – What does this mean?
- APOM mark II: A revival
- iPhone / iTouch / iPad / mobile Apps / mobile web apps – Everyone has an idea. How do we execute?
- Social media guidelines – Maybe we can build it with social technologies?
- Social media directory – Multi-purpose, and in all cases, valuable.
- Foursquare for universities – Who, what, when, where, why, how?
- TEDxUBC – It’s happening Oct 23! Volunteers needed.
One of the latest trends in social media is the rise of location-based services. With the introduction of Foursquare last year, and Facebook Places (in some locations) this year, one university is taking advantage of the increased exposure by encouraging their students to check in via Facebook.
