        • Who goes to your school?
        • What does it cost?
        • What success do your students have?

      • Social networking sites can…
        • Provide the basic information that people want
        • Allow people contact with real students at your school
        • Be a friendlier place than “official” websites
    8. Your “official” website… present and future
      • Still your most important online space
      • But would benefit from copying some of the less formal, more personal features of social networking sites
      • In the future… distinctions in style and substance between “official” websites and social networking sites will decrease
