This is a problem that I am sure plagues many a university or most any large organization in general. Universities are very decentralized in nature. There are Departments, Colleges, Centers and Programs. Each of these has their own assets, and I while show you how to share them via social media tools. Each department has an internal server where files are stored all over. Many times there is very little logic as to how they will categorize information to find it later. I will show you how with various tools including using flickr for images where you can tag, geotag and share images easily with various licensing options. Delicous is a great way to share links to all the important information across a team, Documents can be created using tools like google docs and wikis that enable very easy collaboration and sharing.

Web 2.0 = collab and create
Now we need to organize and categorize
WIKIS - Powerful information tools - easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages. often used to create collaborative websites, to power community websites, and for note taking.
COLLAB DOCS - Documents that can built collaboratively, eliminates the need to pass around documents can include word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.
VIDEO – Various sites provide branded channels where you can post your video, all views regardless of where are aggregated. Helps get data about the campaign. Easily embeddable elsewhere
LIVECASTING – Similar to Youtube and other video sites but they provide a live feed of events and capture the live backchannel
PHOTOS – Various site provide the ability to share tag and create sets. Can be used for events with the creation of group with or tags (pools). Others such as smugmug provide a photo sales mechanism for rapid turnaround
BLOGS – Great mechanism to create and share stories, events and information. Now the blog platform is being adopted by many news site

MAPPING – Shareable, linkable maps that can contain data point and pull in geotagged information from across the web. Many sites have leverages these site to create mashups
ALERTS – Great tool for tracking buzz and the perfect price FREE, I know lots of people use news clipping type services that cost thousands of dollars. This is a bit more work but it can do lots. Look to partner this with Google reader and it can be about similar to news service setup.
ANALYTICS – All these efforts mentioned above can be analyzed and tracked using this tool. It’s more than page views. To learn more visit http://doteduguru.com/idcategory/analytics
FEEDS / RSS – Another great mechanism to aggregate data, it is in the background as plumbing many people use feed readers or start pages to access this data. Simple yet powerful
