Social Networking, Searching for Schools, and eduStyle on Twitter
Posted April 21st, 2008 by Stewart FossSo I made a bunch of changes on the site late last week and over the weekend.
1. Bigger, Better Profile Pages
The new updated profiles will make it easier to network with other higher-ed web people on eduStyle. You can now add links to your profiles on other social networking, bookmarking, and blogging sites. You can also add links to your personally hosted blog, website, or portfolio … or anything else by adding an “other” link. So now when you browse through the profiles you can follow your favorite eduStyle people everywhere they hang out. As a bonus I added a page that aggregates all of the the links into one page so you can build up your higher-ed network.
2. School Search with Suggest
As the gallery has gotten bigger (now over 1000 sites in the gallery) it has become more difficult to find the site you are looking for. To help I have added a new search box that lets you more easily search through the schools in the gallery. It is located on the main gallery page and will offer you suggestions as you type based on schools in the gallery.
3. eduStyle on Twitter
You can now follow eduStyle on Twitter. I’ll be using it to post links to some of my picks for the best sites in the gallery and they get submitted or as I rediscover older forgotten sites.
