"I created the following screencast on how to use the screencasting service Screenr. So what is Screenr? It’s a web service that allows you to make screencasts quickly and easily, then have them posted to the web." - AJCann from Bookmarklet

"It wasn’t too long ago that I was promoting Ning in the educational space for as a great, free, walled-garden approach to bringing social networking to schools. Overall, it was a complete flop. When people are already completely invested in Facebook, they don’t want to have to look/check somewhere else." - AJCann from Bookmarklet

didn't spot the quotation marks on that one and thought you had gone mad 'promoting ning' LOL - Jo Badge

Now that's not likely, is it? See also: http://www.citeulike.org/user... - AJCann

"We’re excited to reveal that the Zotero project has begun preliminary development of a standalone version of the research software that will interact with browsers other than Firefox. Code has already been committed to Zotero’s open-source repository that provides a glimpse of how this new version might work. This proof of concept is allowing our developers to study how best to integrate Zotero with other popular browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Of course, Firefox is still an excellent web browser, and we’re confident that it will remain so for years to come. That said, we also want to provide the Zotero community with the opportunity to use other software when they choose to do so, or when they face institutional barriers to using Firefox." - AJCann from Bookmarklet

This workshop in Nottingham will provide an introduction to Twitter and its potential uses in HE and the other sectors. The first part of the workshop is organised in two strands: strand A for those who are new to Twitter and who have yet to create or use an account; strand B for those who have a Twitter account and who would like to extend their understanding of its possible uses. - AJCann from Bookmarklet

"One month after long-time Ning CEO Gina Bianchini was replaced by COO Jason Rosenthal, the company is making some major changes: It has just announced that it is killing off its free product, forcing existing free networks to either make the change to premium accounts or migrate their networks elsewhere. Rosenthal has also just announced that the company has cut nearly 70 people — over 40% of its staff." - AJCann from Bookmarklet

Blimey. At last. A prediction comes true....: "During the coming slump the risk of relying on free tools and services in learning will become apparent as small start-ups offering such services fail, and as big suppliers switch off loss-making services or start charging for them." - see http://tinyurl.com/8y2qfs - Seb Schmoller

I'd suggest you include the social media account you use most, be that Twitter, Friendfeed or whatever, to allow people to contact you. It's a good idea to set up a profile page somewhere online which you can use to aggregate all your contact details. - AJCann
