Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

I hope so, because I'm going to have to not only learn social media but use it with a purpose. Events in Tunisia and Africa notwithstanding, social media is changing how we live, and, equally important, what we learn and how we learn it.

What's probably going to happen is that I'll have to become my own "network" or "website": the Jon Caroulis "show" (or news hour), in which "viewers" will learn what's happening at La Salle and, equally important, what La Salle can do for them via the information I'll provide.

Well, one journalist who started in newspapers and is now a "famous" blogger and twitter said "quality" was the key to his posts and tweets. He has information that he gets from sources, so in that vein, coming up is my first atttempt to "engage" the world via social media...
