spreeder.com - Free online speed reading application

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:44:00 -0000

To use this site you paste in text and it will show it to you one word at a time in a teleprompter style. The intent is to help people become speed readers I see this as a great Assistive Technology tool because you can increase or decrease the rate at which the words appear on your screen as well as change colors.

Knowledge-able
Most university classrooms have gone through a massive transformation in the past ten years. I'm not talking about the numerous initiatives for multiple plasma screens, moveable chairs, round tables, or digital whiteboards. The change is visually more subtle, yet potentially much more transformative.

Mosio is similar to Chacha in that you can call in a question and real people search for the answer and provide you a text message back with an answer. In fact you get not one answer but four answers. Standard text messaging rates apply. You too can be part of the Qniverse by being a QnAgent.
