  1. I hope my late addition will be okay...I'm a bit behind :-) I checked out the technorati blog and liked the mix. Wide variety of news and easy to scan.

  2. I just checked out the wiki. I watched the webinar of Amanda Stone's use of wikis. Not only was the information about this tool useful, I had never seen a previously recorded webinar. What a great tool. I could see her screen, smartboard and hear her lecture. There was also chat on the left column but I pretty much ignored that.
