Clearly there's some very interesting work going on in revitalising secondary eductaion. As good as my schooling was, I sure hope my kids' experience is nothing like it!

Barry appeals to the bear (aka Hanrahan) in me - this would be more evidence for not trying to catch the falling knife that is the markets at the moment.

I seem to recall sitting outside last year watching the Perseids last year and Twittering away - even down here i caught a couple of great streaks across the sky.

that's what is so great about 30DC. Even though there are some youngsters on the block, this is a bunch of people who can take the heat in the kitchen. The pressure from learning so much new stuff is huge. Its taking me way out of my little comfort zone and I am luvvin it!

Wow - even more juicy information for us to play with - imagine seeing heat maps of search queries! Awesome upgrade (again) from Google.

I am completely gobsmacked by this tool. The granularity of information is so finite you can pick a city and a population segment and target just those people!

Jani, I would be a little more specific than just cards, is your niche for playing cards? greeting cards? business cards? card games? etc.
- Scott Bannon
I second Scott...I have found that too broad of a term makes you work to hard to filter out the good stuff.
- Andy
Definitely be a *little* more specific, but not too specific - remember you're going to be scanning headlines quickly, so you can afford a reasonably sized net.
- Matthew Hall
I think it depend what niche we are having.
- SK WONG
Definitely agree... a bit more focused but still general. Or create a feed by not including certain words or phrases like this: cards -"she's a card" -"he's a card" -"gift cards"
- Wendy J. Roan
It would look like this: cards -"she's-a-card" -"he's-a-card" -"greeting-cards" -"gift-cards"

When I applied my tips above to the subject cards, many different types of cards came up. I wouldn't want that if it were me. :)

Well people will friend you here on FF and can extend conversations past Twitter's 140 character limit. Also we get to take advantage of threading and likes and recommendations and loads of goodness like that.

“Australian TiVo first impressions : pretty dull unboxing experience (yes photos are coming!) Comes with a good set of cables, but no HDMI whatsit. The remote is longer than the classic remote, and works fine controlling my old series 1 TiVo :-) It will be a couple of hours at least before more...”
@aDB very interested to hear your thoughts on it and if it's worth getting.
- Jodie Miners
@aDB ... and isn't the local version neutered unless you pay more money?

Well we're now up and running - guide data is working, which is after all the magic of TiVo. Recording two programs at once now, so more happiness in the household :-) Great to record HD shows and they playback fine on the old CRT screen, can force all playback into 576 (i.e. old style TV.) Happy that the remote is controlling new & old TiVo and the TV, removing remote clutter.

More ruminating on FF. Love: the fact that I get random subscribes/likes/comments from people who see me as a "friend of" someone else Dislike: no way to "mod up" comments that are really insightful or clever.
