\"\"OK…let’s be right up front.  <\/p>\n

I just bought the book "Facebook – the missing manual"<\/strong><\/em>  and I am bound and determined to read it…at some point!<\/p>\n

I have a Facebook<\/strong><\/em> account – get funny notes from Wabash alums when I post to my flying friends and get !@#$% notes suggesting I need a life from the fliers when the post changes to other subjects.<\/p>\n

I Twitter<\/strong><\/em> or tweet…but not often or good enough.<\/p>\n

I get Linkedin<\/strong><\/em>…sometimes.<\/p>\n

I might even have a few photos on my Flickr<\/strong><\/em> account.  But I don’t recall.<\/p>\n

I have a couple of videos on You Tube<\/strong><\/em>…but they tell me my face is better suited for radio.<\/p>\n

So, the Social Media move hasn’t passed me by…it just didn’t stop at my front door for very long.  But the true beauty of it all – you get the info you want when you want it – and it doesn’t cost a thing.<\/p>\n

For example – you can get scoring updates from our SID superstar Brent Harris<\/strong> from far away places like Allegheny…just follow him on Twitter<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

You can get the news we post for alumni on Linkedin<\/strong><\/em> (right now it’s about Bell game tickets) or you can get career services information as well.<\/p>\n

So, just tune your favorite internet browser to our web page<\/a> and decide for yourself what you are interested in trying.  We offer a money back guarantee!<\/p>\n

The footnote<\/strong>: we’re all relatively new to this and trying to catch up with our students! (Don’t laugh – it’s true!)  So, we’re bound to make a few mistakes as we grow into this social media thing.  Grow with us – remember it’s free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
