I think it's a wonderful overview of Facebook (especially for the uninitiated.) I'm not sure that I agree entirely with the statement that "Facebook is a social-networking utility that lets people connect with friends, family, and others sharing similar interests who work, study, or live around them." I'm not sure that "similar interests" or geographic proximity are all that relevant. I find that (especially in the young alumni) that Facebook is used as a substitute for geographic proximity. I notice that in the pre-freshmen connections, that happens as well. The use Facebook as a substitute for actually being in physical proximity. This phenomenon is probably only relevant in how we communicate with people who have opted in. Does that make sense? Hi Lisa – Thank you for this statement.

It is extremely timely as the last discussion in the communications review group focused a lot on networking. Could you suggest a couple of initiatives, such as announcing lecture series, that you would like to see undertaken to broaden our efforts in this area. lisa, this statement is extremely useful.

Feels redundant. The blue light could be smaller and be used selectively to call out pressing alert notices. Do you really need the blue light and the yellow and black stripes together?

The way it's laid out now, I automatically scroll down as soon as I get there, so I'd probably miss important safety news. I think you should only include the Safety Zone info (and the image) if there's something of an emergency nature right now. That way, if it's there, the reader will really notice it. If there's nothing to report, perhaps include the one-liner "No emergencies at this time", but don't bother with the image. In addition, you could better use the screen real estate by (a) giving the weather one line at the top, not 6 square inches, and (b) moving the "Buzz on Campus" down to the bottom of the page.

No - unless of a truly dangerous or unexpected nature, e.g., Stewart Ave. bridge washed away by storm, or Tower Road closed because of police activity. * Is SZ something that you want to see all the time, whether or not there is something going on? Attenuation is a big concern. I'd prefer to see SZ change position (perhaps from lower on the page to top), or brighten, or somehow attempt to stand out from its normal appearance or placement when it contains a priority message, if it's present on the page at all times. * What about those links to safety resources? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Indifferent. * How long should something stay up on SZ? As long as relevant. Breaking news seems most important. General health precautions, not so much. Might be best to say "no current issues" instead of forcing items on to it that really aren't pressing, or letting old ones sit around for lack of anything to replace them. * Should there be an archive of old postings? Yes. Will Safety Zone contain weather-related messages or links, such as severe electrical or winter storm warnings, and perhaps advice on what to do about them (unplug equipment, take shelter, buy extra food)? -Ken You asked…

* Do road closures belong in the Safety Zone?

No – unless of a truly dangerous or unexpected nature, e.g., Stewart Ave. bridge washed away by storm, or Tower Road closed because of police activity.

* Is SZ something that you want to see all the time, whether or not there is something going on?

Attenuation is a big concern. I’d prefer to see SZ change position (perhaps from lower on the page to top), or brighten, or somehow attempt to stand out from its normal appearance or placement when it contains a priority message, if it’s present on the page at all times.

* What about those links to safety resources? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Indifferent.

* How long should something stay up on SZ?

As long as relevant. Breaking news seems most important. General health precautions, not so much. Might be best to say “no current issues” instead of forcing items on to it that really aren’t pressing, or letting old ones sit around for lack of anything to replace them.

* Should there be an archive of old postings?

Yes.
