xobni
Does anyone use xobni for organizing Outlook? I'm surfing Web 2.0 - found a cool conference website (http://www.web2expo.com/webexsf2010) - and stumbled across xobni. My work email is a catastrophe. It looks like you can also use a gadget to connect Outlook with Facebook and Twitter profiles. AHHH, my head is going to explode!

Do you Ning?
Ning (Facebook alternative): http://blog.ning.com/2010/06/pearson-to-provide-ning-mini-for-free-to-educators.html
Ning Networks have become a valuable complement to many schools and other educational institutions by helping teachers, parents and students supplement class curriculums; allowing educators and administrators to share best practices; and by helping all these groups bring the vitality and vibrancy of their institutions online.

What is produsage?
The terminology is difficult to keep up with - seems like there's a new catchy term every day.
Produser? http://produsage.org/produsage
"...the collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement."

Week 2 - Post Prompt
How might the concept of produsage be applied in your life (personal and/or professional) as it stands today? Are you already a produser? If yes, what do you do? If no, why not?
Last week, I responded to the prompt at the beginning of my exploration but I thought I'd wait until the end of the week this time. In the wide scale world of the Internet, I am not a produser. I find it daunting and overly indulgent. I do, however, employ sharing and collaboration strategies within my work context. GoogleDocs and Sharepoint are frequently used for multi-person collaborations.

Week 2
So, I just re-read the syllabus and I need to be sure to get 3 entries in my blog this week. One thing that has always struck me as curious about maintaining a blog is that folks feel like they have enough interesting stuff to say to put it out there in public...routinely. It would drive me nuts - too much pressure. I have to work hard at posting on our discussion boards where the topic has been identified and prompts for discussion provided. Maybe if I follow a few of your blogs, I'll start to get an idea of how it works - make it less scary.
