The Interfolio Blog

Higher-ed specific blogs and news sites are great sources for niche information about our field, but it's good to get the perspective of those outside our field as well, and this week the Washington Post has launched a new higher ed page to help us do just that. 

The new page is devoted to higher ed news, commentary and even includes feeds of news and comments from twitter, updates from The Chronicle of Higher Ed and a round-up of higher ed sources all over the web.

What's so great about the page? It's a one-stop-shop for higher ed news across many disciplines and includes a lot more than just Washington Post content. Which means you can do a lot less hunting around and find a daily dose of information in one place. For anyone in the greater DC area (including our team!), it also provides a round-up of news and information from local institutions, making it a great place to keep up with surrounding universities and colleges.

It's also more interactive than many sites we've seen, with a prominent twitter feed on the homepage that will show anything anyone posts on twitter with the #wpcollege hashtag. Which means you'll get not only what the Washington Post is publishing but also thoughts and links to articles from fellow readers.

Overall, we like it! But don't take our word for it. Check out the new site and let us know what you think. What else could they have included to make it even better?
