I've often hear the term "Social Networking", but I still don't have a clear understanding of what it means. I've decided it is something that may be best left loosely defined. However, Adina Levin in her article Social Software: What's New does a very good job of addressing how new technologies and applications are adding to the capabilities of social networking.

Simon Garfinkel in an article, Peer to Peer Comes Clean, for Technology Review, lists a few new P2P applications that are beginning to broaden the P2P landscape.

Tech Learning had a short but nice article on How To: Incoporate Multimedia into Documents. The most interesting part of the article was the few resources listed that provide access to educational media. Specifically, www.americanrhetoric.com. I really enjoyed the movie speeches. I might recommend Howard Beal's "I'm Mad as Hell" speech in Network.

I'm also interested in Digital Curriculum. I haven't used the service and I'm not sure of the cost, but perhaps it is a model that could be developed with eExtension.

I'm very interested in collaboration technologies. I found an interesting tool at a small company in Canada called SilverOrange, www.silverorange.com, who have a nice web-based collaboration environment. I really like the interface and while I was searching for more of a traditional project management system, there system probably fits my somewhat "loose" style of management.

Items are based on projects, but the information is more like an on-going conversation between team members. Lots of features. I will be testing it out for the next few weeks.
