@daveschappell shucks, sorry to hear about it anyways, though, and be sure to let us know how the class goes today!
@daveschappell Hey Dave - sorry to miss your tweet. Did you manage to make it in? I would try closing your browser and re-opening to fix.
@daveschappell Try re-starting your browser or possibly using a different browser if that doesn't work.

"haha, I love it when the comment counter gets high, because the template around the comments get more and more funny. I think it has increased comments, though (but I did a bad job of not A/B testing it). Ooh, yeah. I forgot to make fun of the fact that the government uses Rosetta Stone. I've worked for the U.S. government long enough to know that things don't really get done... Reflection on Rosetta? Right place in the right time? I dunno."

"You're probably right, but when I posted the eduFire part I did think "okay, if I didn't work here, would I still recommend it?" And the answer was still yes. The bias part that I wrote up there though was about comparing it to eduFire competitors in terms of which one had the best Japanese options, and I think that statement's pretty founded (and I even listed and linked to competitors!). I don't think Rosetta is really a competitor to eduFire, and we don't really think of them as such. We are a marketplace of learning, and they sell a product, and while there is some overlap, for the most part we don't really pay attention to that big sleeping giant :) Though, yeah, if I was an employee of Myngle / WizIQ, I'd probably have to list them first, which I hate to admit... but I wouldn't like it. With eduFire, I don't feel bad, because I know it's the best for Japanese within that online teaching marketplace niche anyways. So, I guess it's guilt-free and truthy bias?"

Top 5 free online Japanese English Dictionaries. Found some awesome gems I didn't even know about! http://gakuranman.com/top-5-f...
Are teachers dinosaurs? If you don't move, they can't see you! Rawwr. http://www.kirstenwinkler.com/teacher...
Does this mean introverts make great teachers as well? I'm thinking so: http://www.forbes.com/2009...
@byzantinist Very cool! So how is NT Greek different from Ancient Greek? (you should teach a class on the differences! :)
This integration of #smartfm plus #edufire is great for the students! http://smart.fm/explore... - @rainbowhill is one smart 先生!
@CultureQuirk Indeed, would be very cool if eduFire made it easier for people to do so... *thinking* hmmmm... :)

"One thing that I think will make Gtranslator really good is that they allow users to type in "better translations," which in theory will help the Google Translation monster grow into a smarter Google Translation Monster. It's all about the crowdsourcing, and I'm excited to see how it evolves!"

"oh nose! I have a half-written article very similar to this one, though you're a lot nicer than me, I think (good choice). Remind me to link to this post when I put mine up, otherwise it'll look like I'm copying. That's what we futuristic teachers get for implanting hard drives and cloud sharing in our brains. Damn you creative commons!"
