Hi All,

I posed a question on Twitter. More a statement of frustration  on how to find things by themes.   I think for the second time and I was directed to this site:

http://twitterpacks.pbwiki.com/Twitter+Pack+by+Topic 

by @gka
The site has developed a lot ore since the last time I was there.

As I do with all now Web 2.0 things I search on running as I know a bit about that and if it passes the test I keep going.

This is what I found on running:

Hi all,

For the last couple of years I have been asked to present to 2nd year education students on Blogs, Wikis and Podcasts.  It is always tight to leave my lessons at work  and get there by 4:00pm. Also  I park miles away to avoid paying  the meters and  I have to walk quickly to get there.  The walk in itself is not a problem but it is if you follow my other blog.   

I was asked do I need a place for my notes and I did not have any.  I was just going to talk my way through the powerpoint.  I did not even think of taking notes.  I have in the past. This made me think that they might have wanted a more academic presentation.  It was not to be because I wanted to show all the examples I  have on  using technology in the classroom, show the Web 2.0 tools that they can learn to use and hopefully inspire them to have a go themselves.  

Not sure how I went .  I did have some academic stuff but I just rushed through it and said they could read it themselves.  I am not sure if that is what they wanted but it is what I presented.    

A few observations:

1.  I spotted one guy having a snooze.   

2.  I did not like being trapped by the microphone.

3.  There is still a lot to do to spread the word about Web 2.0. 

4.  Thanks to my Twitter friends who popped in to say hi at the beginning of the lecture. 

5.  I think I am too free spirited to be an academic.

6.  It is strange  having partially empty lecture theatres.

Hi all,

 One of the things I have been talking about for a while is finding a means to bring all the online presences I have.   I thought Facebook would do it but it has not been good enough for me. 

I noticed Robert Scoble talk about how he is blogging less because he  writes in all the other things he is on and then he pointed us to  Friendfeed and I started an account.  http://friendfeed.com/plu

I  would like to be able to add my Cool Running Blog and this Edublog.  Not sure how to do it but it won’t be long till someone develops it for me.

In the meantime thanks Robert.

cheers  Martin
