BlueFuego Social Web Callout
         Research




      6 Month Review
         3/1-8/1
About the Research
 BlueFuego has looked at 1,387 four year institutions in the
United States to see who is using visual social web callouts on
        their site. This is a summary of our research.

            We have focused on 3 pages:
                Homepage (school.edu)
                Admissions Homepage
                  Alumni Homepage

 40.5% of schools (562) now have a SWC on one of these
      three pages, up from 20.5% (285) in March.
Executive Summary
Social Web Callouts (SWC) have become even more prevalent
on .edu websites since our initial research in March 2009. The %
  of growth for callouts has doubled across every category.

Twitter continues to grow quickly in both usage and promotion
 in Higher Education, while Facebook is still the most linked to
                        social network.

  MySpace Callouts and YouTube embeds have seen negative
   growth for the past six months on .edu homepages and
  Admission pages, but positive placement on Alumni pages.
