Anyone hear of fydo? They are this great opera company in Burlington, VT and their focus is to bring classic opera to a new audience with exciting new ways to perform. Well..not so classic opera.
A group of Champlain College students will be helping out fydo this semester as part of our Marketing Management class. Their job is to help this organization with their Marketing. It will be interesting to see what the students end up accomplishing!
For more information on fydo check out "The Right Time for Opera" in the Burlington Free Press.
Who knew? We have our own LATE NIGHT show here in Burlington -- it's run out of Champlain College's Alumni Auditorium on Thursday nights. It airs on WCAX-TV on Saturday night at 11:30 p.m.
This small show has beat out Leno and tied Letterman and Saturday Night Live in it's first book Nielsen for November 2006.
That's right. BURLINGTON!!
Check it out!
Is there something wrong with blogging in more than one place, other than the fact that I can't keep up??
As I explore VOX, I'll compare and contrast this with blogger. Which one is better from a user stand point? Which one really gets at that social media optimization thing and should I keep both or do something else?
It's a good question. But at the moment, VOX is looking pretty interesting with it'sMySpace/Facebook/Linked In feel but with the blogging and yet...it seems to be more. It's much easier to format and play with the text, the tagging comes very easy and the fact that I can include the video, audio etc. is very cool.
I like the book listing. For example, I can click on Books and then bring up Amazon and link to a book that I think is something that my students should read (see right hand side). I can move it around the page very easily.
I've also been able to select video from YouTube or iFilm or Amazon, searching them from directly within VOX and then add them to my page. The video I have selected is from the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty. I selected it because it is a social marketing campaign that I've been following for some time and that we talk about quite extensively in my Non-Profit and Social Marketing class. We started looking at it last year...and now this new video which has been put on YouTube and iFilm:
Of course I can also add in audio as well. I can tag each element and tag my overall post. And there's spell check!
Lot's of bonuses here so far
