Posterous

Posterous – remember that? I set up one of these a year or so ago to look at track and field videos. It didn’t really achieve much as I didn’t share or publicise and I was the only one putting up, which seems to defeat the purpose – a regular blog would do that.
Maybe the problem was that it wasn’t the right tool for the job. One recent suggestion was the use of science scribes. This would be a good way of getting people able to contribute. It would only be really useful if it could be integrated into something else. This might work if a learning hub blog could have a page for this.
Something to try.
Also, am running delicious and Diigo kind of in parallel, which doesn’t make sense. It’s decision time

Delicious to Diigo

Have transferred from delicious to diigo.

This was very easy – export form delicious import to diigo. There may be a few other loose ends (e.g. the tagcloud on the finalsite page) and other things, like followers and followed on delicious.

Still some things to do.

Happy to have set up google reader to look at all the student blogs – still not sure how to use this efficiently to participate in the activity.

Google docs update

I have been trying to think of the best way t share the googledocs notes form my classes. I note that it is possible to publish these as a webpage that will regularly update. I have done this  for each class and put a link onto the class pages for people to access.

If I have got this right, anyone can view this, but not edit it.

I should let some people know to test this.

On another matter, delicious keeps me notified of some links which work well. It would be good to selectively expand this network. I wonder how.
