*Aerial Videos*

Communication Production Services (CPS) recently took some spectacular aerial videos of the campus that will be available at the following site soon: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cpsphotolibrary/sets. They include flyovers of the dome and the Stata Center, plus footage along the river.

*Social Media Analytics*

I recommended the following article on social media analytics: 2 Easy Ways to Measure the Impact of Your Social Media Use, by Jane Friedman. Interestingly, Our Own Stephanie Leishman, social media and email marketing specialist at CPS, was recently interviewed about social media trends for higher education in 2015, and one of her points, she said, was that social media job descriptions will begin to emphasize analytics more--how we report on and measure results. Note to Stephanie: please send the link to this article to Editors Club when it comes out.

BTW, Stephanie noted that more than 80% of MIT departments doing social media use Hootsuite to track their analytics. Note to Self: Buy stock in Hootsuite.

*Happy Anniversary*

The Materials Processing Center will be 35 years old on February 1 of this year.
