Hi Rob > We will probably go for UniOfWestminster, which we you on YouTube etc. Which is likely to be seen as 'uniofwestminster' - not so nice :-( (what's a 'unuiof'?) I guess my institution could go for bathuniversity, bathuni, uniofbath, ... I wonder how many institutions are likely to have name clashes? I know there are a number of Open Universities. > Don't know what we had in May, but we're currently at 1,495, > and have asked FaceBook to transfer the 3000+ people in our > main UoW group across to our page - a tactic which may help > others get over the threshold? I thought there had been a cut-off date.
