"The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible.

Psychologist Larry D. Rosen's presentation to the American Psychological Association is a little more nuanced than "Facebook Rots Kids' Brains," but it still has plenty to be concerned about. (His title: ""Poke Me: How Social Networks Can Both Help and Harm Our Kids.") 

"Hot on the heels of my Ed.D. thesis submission, the presentation below (click through if you don't see it!) will hopefully be of help some of those looking to grapple with developing digital literacies in their institution or organization."

Lately, we've started to see a new class of app emerge just for managing these tasks across their various apps. The idea of apps for our apps sounds ridiculous, but some of them are neat, and some are downright lifesavers. Here's a round-up of apps you should use if you want to bring your many social networks into one dedicated place."
