Personalized video

So enough is enough, right? You've voted and you'll eagerly watch the returns tonight, a new president will be named (hopefully), and then we'll be done with this two-year odyssey. At least the campaign phase, then who knows what will happen.

But of all the SNL skits and sound bites appearing on YouTube and all the e-mails and all the rest, this little nugget stood out for me.

A way to personalize a video that was distributed by MoveOn.org. If you haven't received one yet, and there may be a couple of you out there, you should try this. It's hilarious. And, I think, a very effective means of using video as a targeted, personalized way to get out your message.

I'm already asking the Colgate IT guys to see how we could adapt similar technology to craft a video message that we could send to admitted students and others.
