    • The idea of using a collection of various tools as a loosely connected learning space rather than a formal LMS. This envisions a central wiki as the hub with other tools for discussion, community building, virtual meetings, updates, and assessment.

      • For content and discussion – wetpaint or wikispaces, upload the content, each page has its own forum, and students get to control the content. Or I could create a blog wherein each post is an activity, this has the advantage that students can subscribe. I’d probably go the wiki route though.
      • Dialogue – I’d probably encourage everyone to sign up for Twitter or Jaiku, to create a low-level, non-intrusive dialogue between students. We might also need some ongoing discussion board.
      • Virtual meetings – I’d use Flashmeeting and schedule regular sessions.
      • News and updates – I’d use a blog and get students to subscribe.
      • Quiz/informal assessment tools – there are a bunch of these around e.g. Blogquiz where you can embed them in your own page. There’s a lot of commercial stuff too, so I think there is room for better free services in this area.

    • la fin du système soviétique, qui  a  entrainé une libéralisation outrancière des forces du marché,  provoquerait l’explosion du dernier grand régime communiste du monde.  
      La Chine

      l’a compris, et ne le prend pas à la légère : le moment approche où elle retirera en partie ses capitaux d’occident, pour s’occuper d’elle-même.  C’est alors que le monde tremblera.

    • You can always start by getting followed by a few celebrity Tweeters like Scoble, Calacanis and Loic. But they give you no credibility at all because they simply follow everyone. Their purpose is to be a new media star

    • According to Patri Friedman, TSI’s founder, the problem with what he calls the “governing industry,” is that it has a “high barrier to entry and high customer lock in.” There are immense financial and personal costs involved in abandoning your nation of origin and transferring your citizenship. To Friedman, these costs are an obstruction to human freedom. The solution? Highly rugged, modular constructions that make it easy to attach your home to your micro-nation of choice but just as easy to detach it and move away. Since every square inch of land on the Earth is claimed, the only place to put these things is the ocean.

    • Google’s invention of PageRank was in many ways the defining moment for Web 2.0, as it was one of the first applications to mobilize ‘implicitly-contributed’ data, in this case the ‘choices’ or ‘intentions’ implied by links to webpages.
