I recently did my first ever Twitterview with Shelley Wetzel, director of the eduWEB conference.  This conference pulls together some of the best and brightest Web developers, marketers, designers and technologists serving the Higher Education market (both working in colleges and universities and serving that market).

eduWEB ConferenceLast year, InnoGage joined forces with Jadu and sponsored the Social Media at the Conference in Chicago.  The idea just kind of hit me out of the blue.  When I shared it with Shelley, she was on board immediately.  Jadu jumped in to assist and the whole thing came off beautifully.  You can read more about that HERE if you want.

Now, onto the Twitterview!  You can view the twitterview HERE (at least for the next few months) Or you can attempt to read it in the blog below….

Remember, since Twitter streams down, you have to go to the BOTTOM first and read your way up.  You’ll see that the tweets don’t always pull through in complete sequential order so you need to watch out for that too.  Enjoy the Twitterview…HEAD TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST AND START READING UPWARDS.

A company I continue to be more and more impressed with is Jadu.  Based in the UK, Jadu has an incredible CMS solution.  Developed initially for Higher Education and Government, they also have client in the private sector.  What I love about Jadu is how well in tune they are with real people and the market.

JaduWe had the priviledge of co-sponsoring the social media at the eduWEB conference in 2009.  It was during this time that I really got to know Suraj Kika (CEO) and understand the power of the Jadu product.

In addition to writing great software, they are constantly out there, talking, watching trends, understanding what should be included in future releases of the CMS.  This is one reason they stay so far out in front of the curve when it comes to integrating things like social media into their solution.

Jadu recently (Nov 2009) published some research on social media usage in the European Higher Education market.  This research digs into the challenges and issues faced in implementing social media, how HEIs are capitalizing on social media technologies to support strategic and operational goals and provides insight on benefits that are being delivered.  There is also an embedded video interview with Kathryn Chedgzoy, Development & Alumni Relations Officer at Warwick Business School (University of Warwick).  Very cool.  Thanks Jadu!!

Getting Creative: Sponsoring Social Media at the eduWEB Conference 2009

July 14, 2009

I love conferences.  They are a great place to network and you can learn a ton from the sessions and panels.  Not to mention they are usually in a pretty cool location.  However, most conferences have this uncomfortable vendor / patron thing going on.  The vendors sit around in their booths hoping someone will actually [...]
