Liveblogging from CASE: ‘You 2.0,’ a 10-step program

As part of this morning’s CASE conference presentation on web 2.0, Karine Joly of CollegeWebEditor.com presented “10 steps to You 2.0,” or 10 ideas to help communications and marketing professionals get up to speed on the new web. Karine also posted the 10-step program on her site. It’s good advice — especially No. 10.

Karine and Joe Hice, associate vice president of marketing and public relations in the Office of University Relations at the University of Florida, presented a primer on the world and words of web 2.0, with another top 10 list of web 2.0 speak:

I would add Technorati to the list.

Tragedy on Montreal campus

While I was blogging about the CASE conference today, a big story was developing on the campus of Dawson College in Montreal. A gunman opened fire in the cafeteria and atrium of the campus, wounding 20, before he was shot and killed by police.
The school’s response to this crisis is posted in red bold type on the Dawson College website:

Dawson College is CLOSED due to emergency.

DO NOT come to Dawson College or the area today.

Check the website tomorrow to know if you should come to classes or not. Please do not call the school as the telephone lines need to remain open.

Students – call your families.

Thank you for your co-operation.
