At the bottom of this note you can see the URL for a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. This URL may only allow access for a short period of time so I might advise you to read it sooner rather than later if you are interested in the topic.
We might use this occasion to explore what sorts of network software services would be ideal for the marketing academic community. Many of you are no doubt experienced with the variety of new Internet e-services that have appeared in the past five years, and are also familiar with the current extant offerings geared for academics. Where are the gaps? How might these be filled? Can new free, open services be offered? Is revenue necessary and if so, from whom and how? What would you like to see?
Feel free to comment on these questions either to me personally, or to the community as a whole. Just let me know whether your note is intended as a one-on-one communication or is to be posted to the whole community.
