Twitter,Facebook and SMS on TED
While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.
it makes me think how new media like twitter,facebook and not so new txt (AKA SMS) is a powerful tool . As I face my up and coming challenge http://momlejog.blogspot.com/ http://www.justgiving.com/andyblack1 and look at ways of keeping friends,supporters family informed while highly mobile on a bike . This is a flippant example but the parrallels between complex political situation and my own personal challenge are to me very marked .
Whays interesting even on election day which network was turned off interupted first the sms network interesting eh !!

Twitter, Facebook, and SMS have their places but there are no social networking sites for teachers. I'm currently working on a project that will help solve this. The site I'm working on is Applebatch.com which is an online teacher community where teachers can share resources such as lesson plans and find jobs posted by schools across the world. The services is completely free to all educators. Right now we are working on our 2.0 version and are looking for feedback from the top Edu Bloggers. If you have time we would love for you to try out the service and let us know what you think. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
