Clemson's Social Media Listening Center is Open for Business!

The Social Media Listening Center @ Clemson opened on February 23rd.

President Jim Barker opens the SMLC!
President Jim Barker welcomed students, faculty, and the Clemson family to the new Social Media Listening Center at Clemson University.  He was joined by Jim Bottum, Clemson's CIO, Ed Sullivan, VP of Strategic Alliances for Radian6, and Allison Dew, Executive Director of Dell in cutting the ribbon!

Built on a unique partnership between Dell, Radian6, and Clemson's CyberInstitute, the SMLC is a state-of-the-art research and teaching facility for Clemson students to learn about, and do research on, social media in real-time. It affords Clemson students the opportunity to use the same tools as Fortune 100 companies to engage with the social web!

Thanks to Dell and Radian6 for help make this unique learning opportunity possible for our students!
