#BU Reacts to @USATODAYcollege's article on Colleges and Social Media
So, USATodayCollege published this article on the top 20 schools utilizing social media. Boston University wasn't on the list, and proved their worth by tweeting their thoughts.
- Is your school among our Top 20 universities making the best use of #socialmedia? http://usat.ly/iiPdo8
- Then, #BU exploded with responses. These are just a few.
- #sorryimnotsorry but based on the way @USATODAYcollege manages their own social,i wouldnt expect them to be a valid authority on the subject
- @BUDiningService @tina_yip @danchiz @adam_e @crwilcox @mister_wang I clearly missed something while at @FitRec- @usatodaycollege #JOKES
- Just got out of work and reading the #BU backlash against @USATodayCollege #cosigneverything #itweetbecauseiwenttoBU
- It's funny even I know #BU should've made @USATODAYcollege list and I don't even go there! @ValentinaMonte @danchiz @emmatangerine
- wow, @USATODAYcollege is getting RIPPED APART. The backlash for #bu not making the list is intense.
- @ValentinaMonte @emmatangerine the whole @USATODAYcollege debacle ---> #IMNOTOKAY. Get em girls #DontMessWithSocialMediaRoyalty
- @usatodaycollege should probably apologize to @ValentinaMonte @lgumport @emmatangerine for not putting BU on your list. you're joking right?
- @USATODAYcollege YOU PUT HARVARD ON THE TOP SM SCHOOLS list??? Are you kidding? They don't even have a comm major. They tweet about POKEMON
- @USATODAYcollege Truth, I can't believe #BU didn't make the list. Actually quite upset. cc: @JennaGlynn @danchiz
- @USATODAYcollege How did @bu_tweets not make the list? #BU had students submit questions via Twitter for @katiecouric during Commencement!
- @USAtodaycollege don't ever get #BUBiddies angry. You will see their wrath...via social media of course #sorryimnotsorryviasocialmedia
- when @mashable ranks social schools & excludes BU, then lets tweet about about it @bu_tweets @USATODAYcollege
- Yes, BU is definitely passionate about social media.
- Yes, the backlash was definitely harsh, but opinionated and rightfully so. Boston University students, faculty, and entire community use social media all the time, and use it well. I'm glad USA Today College is working on fixing the problem.
