			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:24:13 GMT" pgfnum="2493" text="I had a couple of hours this afternoon to play around, and thought I'd put a little time into finding some new feeds for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://east-village.org/&quot;&gt;east-village.org&lt;/a&gt; aggregator. I thought it would make sense to add some news about NYU to the mix, and include news from NYU itself."></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:25:17 GMT" pgfnum="2495" text="This led me to an interesting place. Either I can't find them, or NYU simply doesn't have feeds with news about NYU itself. "></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:25:40 GMT" pgfnum="2496" text="If you go to the home page, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nyu.edu/&quot;&gt;nyu.edu&lt;/a&gt;, you'll see that someone is adding news to it, keeping it current. There are items about Jon Stewart speaking at an NYU class. And the U.N. meeting in NY in September. A new study-abroad center opens and a new NYU bookstore on Broadway. Lots of other stuff. But no feeds?"></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:26:39 GMT" pgfnum="2497" text="&lt;img src=&quot;http://scripting.com/images/2010/10/03/tshirt.jpg&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; height=&quot;155&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;15&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; alt=&quot;A picture named tshirt.jpg&quot;&gt;In searching I came across the &lt;a href=&quot;http://library.nyu.edu/feeds&quot;&gt;NYU libraries&lt;/a&gt;. Often a good place to find news-related information. They &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.nyu.edu/library/colessciencecenter/&quot;&gt;have&lt;/a&gt; blogs (that's cool) and there are tutorials about RSS and podcasting, but again, no site-wide resource for news about the university."></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:27:41 GMT" pgfnum="2498" text="The NYU campus is unlike other campuses I've been on. Tulane has very definite boundaries, as does UW-Madison and Harvard. You always know when you're on campus or off-campus. But at NYU, even at the heart of what we think of as the campus, there's a huge public space, Washington Square Park that's not part of the university. And the campus itself is very dispersed, all over lower Manhattan. And it's growing."></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:29:24 GMT" pgfnum="2499" text="Possibly this is why as I was a student growing up in New York, I was aware that there was an NYU, but if you asked me where it was, I couldn't have said. I even had family members who went to NYU."></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:29:49 GMT" pgfnum="2500" text="So it kind of makes sense that it would be hard to find the central flow of the university's web presence. It's also why the university should over-compensate, do an especially good job of giving itself a recognizable center on the web."></outline>
			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:30:49 GMT" pgfnum="2501" text="I have some other ideas. One of the things I learned in my Harvard experience was to let the ideas out slowly, one at a time. And not expect to influence too much change. But another thing I learned from my Harvard experience is that there is a price to being too cautious and staying too much within the boundaries -- you miss things. While we were doing some nice stuff there in 2003 and 2004 at Berkman, I completely missed the Facebook bootstrap that was happening next door at the college."></outline>

			<outline created="Sun, 03 Oct 2010 19:33:33 GMT" pgfnum="2503" text="But the first step: let's find the pulse. And if we can't find it, help it become discoverable."></outline>
