In the two weeks that we have been posting, the site has received a good deal of traffic (988 visits while I'm writing this). Not too shabby for an in class project. I enjoy my students' enthusiasm for this approach to teaching, and I try not to be tyrannical or overbearing with my administrator buttons.
Some controversy is good, even when it is directed at UNBC's own promotions, or institutions close to the School of Business. This IS the Internet after all. But last week's post about not-for-profit organizations by team Tropical Tigers was inexcusable. Senior administration quickly caught wind of that group's obscene tirade and I was forced to remove it.
Or maybe I accidentally deleted the post instead of a redundant RSS feed. We'll never know what actually happened, but I assure you that I have new respect for a big button labeled "delete forever."
Happy posting everyone, including those who have left comments. And remember, the Internet is Serious Business.
Well, we still have 4 more weeks. let see what else we can do with this site :)
ReplyDeleteActually it wasn't the not-for-profit organizations team Tropical Tigers that had the controversial post but thanks for the credit anyways. I wish our post had generated the traffic.
ReplyDeleteTropical Tigers post was a meek and mild list on 8 steps for marketing not-for-profit organizations that was accidentally deleted from the blog. Any one wanting to see the 8 steps can go to our source at http://marketing.about.com/cs/nonprofitmrktg/a/8stepnonprofit.htm for the full details.
I like the original theory best - it being far to obscene...much more interesting.
