Common Craft have another of their Explanations In Plain English; this time it’s for Twitter. I guess I ought to watch it myself, and actually *do* something, rather than just having an account that’s pretty dormant there….

Citizendium
I’ve heard about Citizendium a few times in the last few days. Today was, however, the first time that I went to it. It’s founded by Larry Sanger – one of the founders of Wikipedia. The aims of the site are: * We aim at credibility, not just quantity. * Open to public participationgently guided…
Massively Multilearner 08
Conference Website A useful day. This was the second of the MML events I’d attended. Schome Anna Peachey gave an update on the Schome project (which includes more than just SecondLife!) Some useful points – e.g. “Governance” both as learning & real (to work out prim counts, AUP etc). Much of final build (funding now…

Carsonified did a straw poll of about 3,000 colleagues, friends and others round the world in order to create the list.
