Looks like word cup is to blame for the twitter outages, at least in part.

Looks like business is embracing web 2.0 as well. Should be interesting, I think it will help develop more private cloud type products, which may be useful for university and k-12 settings as well.

Some great tools... Probably already have most, but there were a few new ones, so I thought id share. My favorite in there is probably quicksilver.

Interesting. Free wifi, and "U.S. company owned stores access to "various paid sites and services such as wsj.com, exclusive content and previews, free downloads, local community news and activities, on their laptops, tablets or smart phones." Besides the Wall Street Journal, Starbucks' partners include Apple's iTunes, The New York Times, Patch, USA TODAY, Yahoo and ZAGAT."

A IEEE working group is working on a standard for Digital Personal Property that would make digital property function more like physical property.

Private cloud computing seems to have a lot of potential, for business and schools as well. There is a edtech article on this too but the link is not working http://www.edtechmag.com/k12/events/updates/creating-private-clouds

Another report that shows how much progress there is to be made. We struggle with this in Iowa quite a lot with students enrolled in classes who simply cannot get any high speed. Sure dish type service is a option but it generally has poor latency, which makes it hard to use synchronous collaboration tools.

I guess we are just average, if we are to be multimedia content rich creators we must build the bandwidth to back that up... seems like we are going backwards with att limiting mobile phones to 2gb. I understand most people will never hit that cap, but creating a cap makes the resource seem constrained, potentially effecting a decision about consuming or creating content (especially video).

interesting article that gets at a discussion we were having about home and work personalities, specifically that Zuckerberg believes in everything being open and sharing everything; both work and home lives.

Microsoft docs... somewhat like google docs with more limited file format export (just docx)... will probably be pretty popular considering how many people do not want to buy full blown office for whatever they charge.

Interesting story on how important online community is to the opposition "Green" movement in iran, allowing people to see "what has really happened". Groups are even using pictures to identify people, "the frontline is now online"

Some interesting points made in this article, about the current state of wireless cell data networks, and their limitations. Also some interesting points about the social aspect of video calling. Speaking from experience, doing the video thing can take some adjustment (it feels especially odd to see yourself while talking) since normally when we converse we do not see a picture of how we look... we just talk without seeing how we look.

Interesting points, not sure if I agree one way or the other.

A professor I work with shared this with me a while ago (its old), however I thought it tied in well with the reading we have from the pew research center, and its just a fun quiz!

Currently missing a share or social aspect (unless im missing something) but seems really good otherwise.

Interesting new way of printing... mostly consumer stuff, but I can see how useful a "education laser model" might be.
