Social Media-SIG
(socialmedia-SIG) |
The Social Media-SIG distribution list is used for discussions about social media at Penn. With multiple, competing platforms and accounts spread over both schools and departments it’s hard to know the breadth of what is happening around campus, where to focus attention and where to look for advice. Hopefully “socialmedia-SIG” will fill that niche and become a University-wide resource, akin to and supporting web-SIG, but without the technical discussions. |
