We've used Facebook for some messages and advertising of events (Security Awareness Month). I agree that we should think about more creative ways to use Facebook, since we know that's where our students "hang out". I think it might also help to serve as a reminder to students that Facebook isn't "students only" - as they make decisions about what to post! ;-) Connie J.

(Usually I buy "poster" which goes to the cornell.edu domain and is not expensive.) In addition to mobile device communications means via text messaging, I think that this route is reaching students where they are when they are on line.

I saw a thread from September but I'm not aware of any updates. Has anyone made use of the targeted advertising available through Facebook Flyers? I would be interested in your experiences. We have 15,000+ RIT people registered on Facebook and I would like to explore its usefulness.
