Might be a good addition to isis.stanford.edu…Stanford Report Article on the Blender:
The space has been designed through the efforts of the Office of Student Activities, ISIS, the Associated Students and Tresidder Meeting Services. These spaces became available when Information Technology Systems and Services and Continuing Studies vacated the second and third floors of the Nitery.

More a community photo posting site than anything, but with a very talented group of photographers and a search engine to find the best pics. You have to create an account to download photos, but these could be very useful for marketing/video/image creation purposes.

The number of Stanford student on Orkut has been skyrocketing in the last few days. The Stanford University community currently has more than 600 members. Having an ISIS community on Orkut seems like a very simple and free way of advertising. If everyone on the team signs up on Orkut, and joins the ISIS group, […]
