In his "Blueprint for Change" economic recovery document, President Obama said that America "should lead the world in broadband penetration and Internet access." Data indicates, however, that the U.S. is far behind other nations when it comes to providing broadband access for its citizens. Figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) show a sharp decline in U.S. broadband access rank among its 30 member nations. In 2001, the U.S. ranked 4th, but by the end of 2008 had fallen to 15th place. As for speed, Akamai, one of the largest global networks, released its "Q3 2009 State of the Internet" report that shows the U.S. 18th with an average connection speed of 3.9 Mbps. In first place was South Korea, which clocked in at 14.6 Mbps. (America Lagging, ¶¶1-3)

I wanted to add another pre-defined tag to suggestions in the group Tag Dictionary, but seemed to have maxed out the list (with five multi-word tags enclosed in quotations). So I've re-defined them as follow:

"blogging basics and security"
"blog layout, templates and themes"
"blog gadgets and widgets"
"concept mapping and outlining"
"podcasting tools and tutorials"

Please feel free to use those, or others more to your liking; most popular ones should still appear as auto-completions as you type in the tagging field.

I've broadened the last recommended group tag from "podcasting..." to "podcasting and digital storytelling."
