Denny Carter of eCampus News, in his article on students using social media to organize gatherings outside the White House, mentions ASMH. Here’s the quote, which comes toward the end of the article:

Menachem Wecker, cofounder of the Association for Social Media and Higher Education and a staff writer at a GWU publication, said that most students there don’t use the school’s Twitter hashtag to engage the campus community, but students who regularly seek social media interaction can create a stir during important events.

“What we are seeing is a very engaged minority on campus that is sharing everything from news clips to information about campus events, and from excitement about the GW brand to occasional criticism,” Wecker said. “It’s fair to say that important events, like the news about Bin Laden, will dominate the kinds of tweets that GW students send out to the conversation tag, but the constant volume shows that the university is lucky to have some of the most digitally savvy and social media engaged students around.”

Twitter has become college students’ go-to social media tool in organizing campus gatherings, he said, because “it is so rapid-fire and because it is very search engine-optimized,” meaning Twitter allows students to easily monitor hashtags.
