Tim Jarrett was kvetching this week about Sloan never getting the attention it deserves, isn't swarming with Radio users (like Kellogg seems to. Poor Sloan). 

But Tim couldn't leave well enough alone. He came up with three ways to get Radio into MIT:

Centralized push. Have Sloan’s IT services folks set up a Radio Community Server and put Radio on every first year MBA’s laptop.

In the classroom. Have a few professors start using Radio as a knowledge sharing mechanism and put part of the class participation grade for their students in how well they use their weblogs.

From the grassroots. Have a few bleeding edge folks get their sleeves up and evangelize it.

...

I'm adding this to my Radio Klogging Kit for Managers. [klogs]

Our experiment is beginning to attract some attention. That's good. Now we need to begin generating some more usage.

Now that you know people are watching, it's time to offer some evidence to support Kellogg's reputation as a leading edge b-school and its reputation as a place that supports and promotes collaboration.

One dimension worth exploring  would be your initial feelings and reactions to being thrown into a new technology and new concept without a lot of preparation or warning. What's working? what's frustrating? What's pissing you off? Besides me :)
