Charlie O’Donnell, analyst for Union Square Ventures (yes, the firm was part of the recent investment round in del.icio.us via Fred Wilson), is going to be another pioneer in the business blogging area at Fordham’s Graduate School of Business. Charlie will be teaching a mini-course there, and he has a course overview posted here (note: Word document). Also noteworthy is that del.icio.us (one of my prior posts consolidating info on del.icio.us is here) will be part of the course. I would guess that Charlie may have some good leverage to get a couple of guest speakers in that area …
Also noteworthy is that Fordham will be using to blogs to help build alumni relations. I think this is a great idea. Alumni networks are natural communities, and universities should consider blogging as a way to connect with their alums outside of traditional magazine, local event, and fund raising/telemarketing activities.
Update (4/25/05): Charlie’s full post about the Fordham course is here. Sorry I forgot the original link the first time around.
