Week 5 - Thing 11

Wow!  I'm feeling rather savvy.  Looking at the list of award winners, I am already familiar with the following:
Del.icio.us
Google Aps
YouTube
Flickr
PB works
Craigs list
Google maps
Facebook
Mango languages
Wikispaces
Picasa
At least that will help me narrow down the list of what to explore today.  I'm thinking I should do a book one, but I also think its time to investigate the world of Twitter.

OK, I didn't really want to create a Twitter account, but I took a look at what was being said about New Moon (generally more favorable than Twilight, but I'm still not interested in seeing it.)  I also followed a link I received from someone to follow them on Twitter - which I then added to my RSS feeds.  Trying to figure out what I would use this for.... make it available to my students so I can comment on the latest book I've read?  Annoy my in-laws?  I'll probably go with the latter.

Ning appears to have undergone some changes, making it difficult to search for groups. I'm curious to see if this is blocked at school.  I could see a potential book discussion group here...

And I made it to Level 5 with 134,000+ points on Travel IQ.  Good?  Bad?  Who knows, but a fun time waster.
