Thanks to Seattle journalist Chuck Taylor for linking to this “preposterous but fun ranking of the supposed Top 100 Social Media Colleges.”

Top ranked Harvard boasts Harvard Social Media. Second ranked Johns Hopkins has Hopkins Interactive.

Carnegie Mellon, raned at #4, gets the nod for the best social media dashboard. Princeton brags on its faculty blogs and other social media.

The only Hawaii institution that made the list? UH West Oahu at #66.

Flipping through this school’s official Flickr profile feels like sifting through vacation photos from paradise.

Looks like lots of room for a few social media consultants to pitch their wares to local campuses!

Another Northwest site, this one just discovered–Seattle Dogspot. I immediately noted the Japan Animal Rescue Update and his link to the Sniff Seattle blog’s “Top ten signs you’re a dog lover.”

Then there’s my friend Chuck Smith’s analysis, “Obama will lose in 2012.” I haven’t had the brain cells to wade through it yet, but he’s obviously given this a lot of thought. I expect this to get some comment.

University presidents are on the defensive over the issue of high salaries while university budgets face cutbacks, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. I hope that the link works….
