How can a university best use social media for internal communications?

Please do shoot me down for self-ego massaging with this, but The Guardian have this morning published my blog post about using social media strategically for internal communications. I'm not going to re-publish the whole thing here as out of courtesy to the nice folk at The Guardian, it would be great for you to add to their viewing figures by reading it there.You may have already seen it anyway since it seems to be spreading on Twitter rather a lot today!

If that interested you, then a couple of workshops that you might be interested in...

Now, the really shameless self-promotion bit... for those with a specific interest in using social media for internal communications, I have launched with the PR Academy a full-day workshop on this very topic. We ran the first one a few weeks back and was rated 'excellent' by every one of the attendees (**blushes with flattered embarrassment**). It is run jointly by Kevin Ruck and I and we'd love to have you join us at one of the next ones being held on 7 July or 18 October. More information can be found here.

Or if you're interested specifically in how to use social media strategically within your university, then I'm also running a full day workshop for that on 12 July. I've only ever had great feedback from these workshops, so hopefully you'll get a lot out of it. Booking info is available here.

Thanks for indulging me by reading this!
