Organized Chaos

I haven’t posted anything in a couple of days, but I have been busy checking out quite a few things.

A blog called Vox caught my attention when I got frustrated with WordPress because I couldn’t embed something. So, now I have a new blog called Tek Trekker that is pretty fun. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it yet. However, you might like to try it out.

Then, as I was looking for some online research and citation services to test out for you, I ran into Magnolia, a social bookmarking site with the added bonus of community/collaboration. I can immediately see some interesting educational opportunities with this – but more on that later.

Finally, I tested out Jaiku – a social mini-blog similar to Twitter – to see if it might have any educational uses. I think it might, but I’ll have to test that out a bit more and get back to you. Or, perhaps you can test it out and post your info here.

So, that was my week – slightly chaotic with flashes of organization dancing around the edges. Tomorrow, I should be posting my reviews of CiteULike and Connotea for your reading pleasure. Until then, happy trekking through the land of tek.
