Facebook’s “On this day” often throws up things I’d totally forgotten about. Today’s was work related, and, in many ways, it’s still as relevant now as it was 7 years ago: I’m recently starting to think more and more about Web2.0 and teaching; more specifically how much is actually web2.0 (on the assumption it can…

A change is as good as a rest ….
… though not when it’s your Social Network doing it! This week, Facebook comments have been somewhat dominated by the recent changes; changes from a view that few liked when it was introduced! I’ve had mixed thoughts on it; there are some things I like, others that I’m less keen on. I’ll look at them…
Twitter vs. Facebook.
A chance comment by Rosie Sherry on Twitter caused me to think about the differences between the two. Her point was that it’s easier to keep up with people in Facebook – which I’d agree with, but, I see that as a benefit of having two accounts. When I first used Facebook, I couldn’t quite…
Do Bebo and Facebook have educational potential?
In this week’s Multiple choice (in the Guardian Education Supplement), a parent, teacher & student were asked the above question. Both the teacher As a teacher, I think this kind of site has got to be part of the future. and the parent but I do think it’s possibly more likely you’ll get more from…

Facebook Chat.
I read about Facebook Chat a while ago, and I’ve now just seen that it’s been enabled for me. I’ve not yet tested it, but I think that it may well be a very useful extra (as I’ve mentioned in the past when it didn’t exist)…

User centric or Community centric?
Several people have been talking about Ning recently – it’s come up in discussion with my students – “egrommet” has used it with his students, Josie noted that several of the nominations for this years Eddies were Ning based communities. I’m just not sure about Ning. I find it irritating that I have to login…
Popular News – facebook.
I’ve been wandering around Facebook – trying to see what I can see on the two networks that I’m part of. I’m registered with Uni. Portsmouth (thanks to working here), and Durham – as an alumni. I’m not entirely sure how the Durham network works, as I’ve got one friend who is also there –…
