Wikipedia
Although this may not fall into the typical realm of social media the way we have defined it, we felt that Wikipedia deserved an honorable mention. It is important to remember that the content on Wikipedia, while referenced by an increasing number of people as a primary information source, is created by any user who wants to post. This means it’s not always correct.
As one would expect, there is an entry about the University of Puget Sound. We did not create it, and research suggests that it is probably in our best interest not to edit it extensively, but we make an effort to monitor the entry and correct inaccuracies. One of the founding principles of Wikipedia is a focus on a neutral point of view. It is not an outlet for a carefully crafted marketing message designed by the university; it is a medium to do our best to provide correct and accurate information about Puget Sound.
An interesting way of using Wikipedia to your advantage is to author or edit a Wikipedia entry for your department's appropriate research area, linking it back to the university through citations, etc.
