The New WebJunction Sneak Peek

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be included in a group of people who saw a sneak peek of the New WebJunction. I am so impressed with the social functionality of it. Think Facebook meets Linkedin meets online learning, incredible! It hasn’t been released yet, they are talking late summer, which is too bad because I want in RIGHT NOW! I know they’ll be some more sneak peeks at ALA, so for all of you lucky enough to be attending, go check it out! In the mean time go you can see BlogJunctions Post about it and WebJunctions Flickr account for screenshots Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Buzz it up Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend

FriendFeed takes stalking to a new level

FriendFeed takes stalking to a new level

Or maybe it’s just me. :-) Like most of us I spent a lot of time checking out new sites and online tools.  Some of them like, twine, zigtag, and brightkite, I play with for a while then drop for one reason or another.  Others stick with me, likeFriendFeed.  I know it’s been around awhile, but I just started playing with it.  There is a lot I like about it, but sometimes it makes me uneasy.  I feel like I’m spying on all these people, I mean I can see their blogposts, del.icio.us bookmarks, Flickr favorites, books they plan to read from Goodreads or Librarything.  Granted I’m probably their friend in all those places anyway and already have access to that information, but now I don’t even have to look for it, FriendFeed brings it right to me (even emails it to me if I want)  Of course there is also the obvious fact that they created the FriendFeed account for just this reason.  But still I feel a bit like a stalker.  Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

Zigtag invites

I have a couple of Zigtag.com invites to give away. Holler if you want one, leave a comment or send me an email.  I haven’t really played with it yet, seems to be a bit like twine.com, but only works in FireFox.  Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Buzz it up Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend

Twine Invites

I have a couple of invites for Twine.com, if you want one send me an email or leave a comment with the email address you’d like me to send it to.  I haven’t had time to really play with it, so I have no opinion yet. Haven’t heard of it? From their website Twine is a new service that helps you organize, share and discover information about your interests, with networks of like-minded people. You can use Twine alone, with friends, groups and communities, or even in your company.
