My post eBay Acquires Skype indicated some referral traffic from Professor Alex Brown at the University of Delaware, College of Business & Economics. Professor Brown appears to be using his blog to both 1) offer students an opportunity to express interest to cover and analyze the eBay-Skype deal in a marketing class and 2) point students to information and opinions about the deal in the blogosphere.
This is a good, and often forgotten, example of how professors can make their business courses very timely and relevant to students. It is also a good example of how professors can use blogging technologies to communicate with their students.
