How do I effectively blog?

For the TRUST Website News Blog, we look for specific mentions of TRUST researchers.

A really good source of information is to use Google Alerts. To do this requires setting up a Google account and then setting up alerts for faculty associated with TRUST. To reduce false positives, it is usually best if you include the name of the university with the name of the faculty member. We have the trustnews workgroup, which uses the truststc account at gmail to provide news feeds that look for TRUST researchers.

Admins: see How does the trustnews google news feed work?

Other places to look:

• Samuelson Law Clinic
• Slashdot
• ACMTechNews
• Subscribe to Risks Digest.
• Another resource is iGoogle, where you can set up feeds from security related news sources.
• eWeek Security
• The most effective way to get news items is to ask faculty, students and researchers to send you items when their name appears in the media.

To update TRUST Website News Blog, you will probably need to log out of bcal and bmail and log in using your private Google account. This is because the UCB Google accounts are not set up for blogspot.
