I have either heard of or used most of the tools introduced in this chapter. I'm not a big Twitter fan. Tweets do not interest me as I like to focus on my own life and my family first, and then can catch up with friends in a more meaningful dialogue via phone or email. It's hard to complete a thought in 140 characters or less. Don't get me wrong, Tweets have their purpose, but I think this craze on Twitter will die down quickly and folks will realize there are better ways to keep in touch.
I do like the online bookmarks with Diigo and Delicious. I can't tell you how many times I'm on the road or on a computer other than my own and I miss my bookmarks for all of my favorite websites. Most of the time I can't remember the url address exactly, and when I can, I can't stand all the typing.
In the classroom, Diigo seems to have a lot of potential in setting up RSS feeds, using the annotations, and other features that make it wasy to keep up with a lot of class activity.
