In 2001, a new Chancellor was appointed to lead the Bloomington campus of Indiana University. And, in 2002, the campus received a new website to reflect the new era. (Click on the image for a closer look.)Argh! I can't believe the official campus homepage used the "IUB" acronym. I am going to have to write a whole other post about that issue.

Just after Noon on Friday, Feb. 27, an update message went out to fans of the IU page on Facebook, asking them to participate in the current campus website visitor feedback survey.This was the first time that IU made use of an update to communicate with all of IU's facebook followers simultaneously.

It was the year 2000. We'd all survived the dread of Y2K. A new millennium of unlimited potential lay ahead. And Indiana University debuted a new Bloomington campus website. (Click on the image for a closer look.)Does anyone even remember "INSITE"?

Ironically, the story doesn't mention the web address nor provide a link to the campus
