Karine Joly, who writes the must-read CollegeWebEditor blog about higher education marketing and PR, interviewed me a few months ago about my experience with Facebook and other social networking sites for an April 2007 piece she wrote in University Business titled “Facebook, MySpace, and Co.” Karine and I were talking about my experience using social networking tools to socialize online with the other 2011 prefrosh early actions kids and that led into the interview where I formally answered some of her questions on the topic.

Who is Sam Jackson?

I'm currently a sophomore at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale, and am an official Yale blogger. Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
