love the fact that when you mouse over buttons get big (all lined up) but limited platforms too. Pity.

wibiya:

relatively new one - adds a fab bar at bottom of the page. It has hedged its bets by going with the most known socialnetwokring and socialbookmarking platforms - so limited in that respect.

Wot's fantastically cool:
>links to your facebook fan page (showing you a preview window) - via facebook connect.
>shows your twitter stream & postings (showing you a preview window)
>automatic blog entry alerts to readers
>search facility
>prevous & next post
>random post

example of wibiya bar at work on a website/blog:

Need to give this one a go. By the space & description given here, you can tell which is my fav that i will try ;-)

Some really inspiring bits will go here!!! - CLP is instinctively exploring avenue of keeping conversation going with learners as well as discussing future plans and work with thier CLP angels via facebook.

Below is some evidence supporting this instict to share and communicate in the "virtual space".

Enjoy ;-)

Technology Is Now A Lifestyle - The Surface of Social Media
http://www.slideshare.net/tomswift/technology-is-now-a-lifestyle-the-surface-of-social-media

Another slideshare presentation - this one is patchy! but plenty of nuggets of goog gold!!!

Wot's missing is the "earned stweardship of trust" !!! this is wot non-profits have!!! so they can become a broker of trust & services like I have discussed with Eliz. This leading thought links to work done in the past called, "the rise of the infomediary" - information broker based on relationship of trust. Also Work done by Prof. BJ Fogg - Computer's as persuasive technology, has a section on types of trust ;-)

Reflections on seeding in socal design: building connections with communities, design and use in social technology projects

http://www.slideshare.net/pennyhagen/reflections-on-seeding-in-socal-design-building-connections-with-communities-design-and-use-in-social-technology-projects-presentation

Another slideshare presentation - this one is about seeding social spaces - it's more visual than anything. The key thing is "conversation" - and I guess, as Xtine & Eliz said, and quite cleverly did, they went where the conversation was flourishing - many learners had a facebook ;-) well done!!!

Hey you changed your avatar pick - you look fresh and energized ;-)

Eliz - this been kindly donated & pasted from one of Rach

Two ideas that I have for 'quick grants' are:

Awards for All: http://www.awardsforall.org.uk/england/index.html which funds small-scale projects (up to £10k) and funding for story-telling projects, which are particularly aimed at families of disabled children: http://www.mla.gov.uk/what/programmes/setting_pace/festival%20of%20storytelling

I guess you could also see what local grant-making trusts would be able to offer funding?
