University Relations Group Blog

Mon. Sep. 17, 2007

Today University Relations follows Linux to become the second group blog within Direct2Dell. What's a group blog? It's a section of content that's related to Direct2Dell overall, but tends to be of interest to a smaller part of the overall Direct2Dell audience.

What's the purpose? Two things:

  • It allows the bloggers to focus on more granular topics of interest to readers of that category.
  • It translates into a faster response to your comments, since group blogs are supported by centralized content experts in that area.

In general, the University Relations group blog is meant for college students at all levels. Take a look at the initial post from Sherri Sides, who manages the University Relations team.

If this content develops into something of personal interest, I encourage you to get subscribe to the RSS feed for the University Relations group blog here. Once you do that, you will receive updates specific to that category in your RSS reader of choice.

Sounds like a great place to tell all of those college students why their notebooks are way overdue.

This sounds like a great idea for college students, who are such big consumers of notebooks.

Since so many students are looking for tablets now, can you give us an update on roughly when the Dell XT will be available for ordering on Dell.com??

Lionel,

Just FYI,  your first two links in the post ("University Relations" and "Linux") go to the same place - the Linux group blog post. I assume you didn't mean to do that?

Also, interesting idea on the group blog thing. From a functional perspective as a blog reader, this is essentially a new category for blog posts that will be written and attended to by a specialized group? It almost sounded like this is a different blog altogether, but I think I'm following you now.

Congrats, and good luck

Tim: Ooops... you're right. It was a mistake on my part. I'll fix the first link shortly. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Geezus....enough of the Dell XT questions already. Do you really need to ask twice in the same day, in the same thread?

Hey Mark... Here we are 5 weeks later, and Jason didn't get an answer to his question.  Would it be ok with you if he asks just one more time?

What a control freak.  Bitching about a repeat question that Dell created by indicating the XT would be available in Q3 of 2007 (yet never giving an update now that that time period has come and gone).
