with each of those schools. The team then restricted the rankings to include only those schools that met the following criteria: Facebook pages that had at least 500 fans Each college had to have at least one such Facebook fan page and at least one Twitter account in order to be included in the rankings They removed colleges where they could not verify the total enrollment information To arrive at the final list, the data included total Facebook fan counts, total number and effectiveness of Twitter followers among other factors. During the course of the list compilation, the team is regularly re-measuring and updating the data by regularly revisiting the various Facebook, Twitter, and other social media pages. In October 2011, this project was named a finalist in the Massachusetts Innovation and Technology Exchange’s (MITX) 16th Annual Interactive Awards.
