Tweets
- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
- @lrainie It's hard for me to do anything menacingly, and I'd try it for a classroom entrance, but I suspect the reference would be lost... 3 days ago
- @lrainie That is my new goal! Channel Omar more often :). 3 days ago
- @lrainie Reducible in part to "who said it wasn't already all a game"? :) 3 days ago

A year with Diigo
I’ve just finished exporting my bookmarks from Diigo and will be moving back to Delicious to keep my bookmarks. I’m not thrilled by this, but I think it works out better for me in the long run. I’m leaving Diigo only reluctantly, after a year of using it in classes and on my own. I [...]

University death watch
Many have suggested that the recent fall of newspapers–and many group the move online with a “fail,” which I think is unfortunate–presages the fall of universities. Like newspapers, many universities exist largely because of some imputed and traditional reputational inertia. And like newspapers, they are in the profession of informing. So it’s not surprising to [...]
Dealing out the Uni
Howard Rheingold recently tweeted something that plugged into a question I have been mulling over for a while: If I taught a truncated online version of Social Media CoLab for 6 weeks, no accreditation, what would students pay? In particular, I tried (somewhat unsuccessfully) to relocate a small grad seminar to the local Panera Bread. [...]
