Further to the change of name thing I think we’re going to go for I’m sure you’ll all sleep more soundly in your beds knowing that. Thanks for the comments to the original post, especially from Vic and Zara. Now all I need to do is think about how and where to roll out the [...]
Since blogging about our post-HootSuite options back in August I’ve been keeping a low profile on the subject. That’s because, admittedly rather sneakily, I realised that if I neither up-graded not went free then when I exceeded the 7 days grace period colleagues I’d registered as administrators for the accounts could still access it. I couldn’t access it but [...]
Last Friday Marta and I went to the Association of Learning Development in Higher Education’s CPD event in Leeds and ran a workshop on ‘Using emerging technologies to engage students‘. It was essentially a repeat of the Engaging without invading workshop that I did in March last year but a little bit updated. The thing that [...]
Having been quite pleased with myself a year ago for figuring out how to automate events notification from our website to Facebook and Twitter I’ve decided to turn it off. News items will continue to push out automatically but Vic, James and I decided that the events notification was just too noisy. Vic is now taking more [...]
An update on the Good old fashioned email post – I’ve now had more than 3,000 people sign up to our mailing list. With that many people on the list I need a mailing list manager. Obviously I’d like to push more of them to our Facebook and Twitter accounts but as Marta said in the comments [...]

This time I’ve tried the following criteria: who live in the United Kingdom age 18 and older who are at University of Leicester who are connected to University of Leicester Students’ Union who are not already connected to Student Development, University of Leicester The difference being the addition [...]
This needs to be quick as I’m in a hurry. Hopefully a more considered most will follow next week. So I mentioned on Tuesday that I’d put up my first Facebook ad. It was just a simple test with a very small budget of £20 – set to run over 4 days – 28 September [...]
A couple of months ago I mentioned that I was thinking about a Facebook ad. Well, I’ve just created one. The comments on the previous post were very useful (thanks Brendan!). I’ve set a very small budget (£5 per day) just to test it out over the next four days. David very helpfully gave me temp [...]
Since my post Thinking about alternatives to Hootsuite I’ve been mulling over what other services we could use to manage our social media for Student Development. I don’t mind paying a bit, we just can’t afford (and I object to anyway) paying what Hootsuite are charging. I had thought to put up a blog post asking if [...]
Today Hootsuite announced a freemium plan. I understand the need for a freemium model and Student Development already have a subscription with Flickr, however Hootsuite’s price plan looks like it’s going to be prohibative for us. Hootsuite has been brilliant for us in the following ways: team collaboration – allowing us to have lots of people (currently [...]
