I’ve read a few posts recently in the blogosphere (such as this one by Mike Arsenault) about “twitter snobs” – and basically whether one should, or shouldn’t, automatically follow everyone who follows you. As with so many things, some people will argue vehemently that their way is “right”; others will be more pragmatic – explaining…
Ages ago, I signed the pledge to write a blog post for Ada Lovelace Day – about a woman in technology that I admire. I then wondered who on earth I’d write about; there are quite a few I could think of off hand, but trying to think of someone who I felt had really…
The Open University’s Cohere tool looks as if it could be interesting, and I see it’s now in Labspace -alongside compendium. (But hard to tell, the interface has changed since I last went there)…
The DUIS have set up a site to list examples of digital innovation in government. It’s created using the tag digitalgovuk in Del.icio.us – so updates as new sites are added. At the moment, it’s an interesting looking list of useful sites (&, so far, not spammed to death!)…

I have just discovered LearnHub. Initially, I wasn’t overly impressed, as the intro tour & also the initial list of links, implied that it was predominantly school (i.e. under 18 year old learners) oriented. However, searching the communities found me several of interest; in particular one on Web2 & teaching/learning. Though it’s run by Enzo…
Academia.edu | Home An attempt to map who’s doing what, where. C’mon Portsmouth, there’s only 7 of us listed, as does Southampton; but Plymouth has 54, and Edinburgh 58! It’s not the fastest of websites, and adding your interests is a little slow. It’s good, in that there’s a list to choose from – thus…
