This simple YouTube video describes Social Bookmarking:
Our department decided to create a digest for tech talk and tracking. If you have new technology to share with the group, add a post here. Maybe you figured out a short cut on production, or discovered some tech trick. If you think it’s techrific please share. Don't forget to use labels it's much easier for sorting. Labels in Blogger=categories. If you need help getting started with Blogger let me know.

The Cappucino Maker Everyone Wants
This *is* technology. I think this may be the fun gadget everyone wants for the department... latte's or cappucino with (literally), the touch of a button. The milk container sits in the fridge. When you are ready, you get out a cup, put in a coffee pod, put in the milk container and hit the button. The bad news? It is $800. (Jeanne, are you reading this?)

10 Firefox Extensions plus one
This isn't the usual list of extensions that everyone is used to using, but 10 add-ons that many may not know about, but can be very useful for everyday web browsing. I haven't tried any of these but some of them look like it would be helpful

Another one that isn't mentioned in the web site above, Color Tabs. It comes in handy if you have multiple tabs open in the Firefox window.

We have been playing with Twitter in house for a couple of days. I had personally been avoiding Twitter, but I do know quite a few people on it from class including profs. On a personal level I still don't see my need to Twitter as high. However, in a recent article it's made me understand the value to academia from an instructor perspective. I probably would use it more if I had a phone with a keyboard. I am not that fast at texting, but I have a 13 year old who keeps me active with it. A new phone is on my to do lists.

Ouch! I hope that Adobe proves Jobs wrong. I think they ought to be working on that middle product. They have been strong advocates of mobile devices and i think it would be short sighted of them to just sit tight on Flash Lite.
