Why are people attracted to "list posts"?
I don't look very often now at lists of new tech. tools, since I know I will not be using any more than I am using. I outlined this in my last post.
Recently, I have seen links posted on Twitter with some anti-list sentiment. Check this one by @mbteach
I still think that for those who seek some ideas or inspiration the reading of list posts provides a starting, point, incentive and impetus to explore and think further.
I am particularly keen to gather ideas on leadership, well-being and innovations in learning.
Much of my twitter stream reflects this interest.
Some companies, like 12most even build their brand around this list concept.

My Daily Use of Online Tools and Various Techy Things
Your Daily Bread? : Darcy Moore's Blog
Darcy wrote: this post:
"What online and tech tools do you use daily in your personal and professional life? Have they changed in the last two years? What has failed to ‘work’ for you?"
Each day I use:
1. Twitter is still numero uno.
I check my stream many, many times each day. I post or share useful links on Twitter morning and night from my daily email alerts and various enewsletters.
2. I check my Facebook for family and friend updates morning and night. I like and comment often.
3. During school term, I keep maang as a TAB and check in regularly. I am more a lurker here. I like as often as I feel a connection.
4. I don't bookmark anymore.
5. I still like slideshare and still share useful shows.
6. I use my ipad each day to read the paper and novels.
That is all I can fit in.

"i" Time is Now: Looking way back to go forward.
I said in a previous post that I would look back to find my "alphabet" predictions.
I started this blog on 26 July 2007, I was doing a little web 2.0 research project.
On 9 November 2007, I made a presentation all about the rise of "alphabet" change - e, m. i
With the passing of Steve Jobs, it seems appropriate to remember this post.
Apple has been in my life since the late 80s.

Companion blog: More about me - retrovintagecollectables
I just noticed that the "About Me" information on this blog is the one I wrote for my hobby blog, retrovintagecollectables
This blog is as it sounds, about my collections, I call them "flash trash".
Visit and check out the "rest of me".
I am going to start a second hobby blog, soon. This one will focus on my retro clothing collections.
Maybe a retirement activity ... who knows.

Are m and ilearning concepts whose time has finally arrived??
My last post was on 19 March 2011. It has been a long time between motivation and inspiration to write anything.
Early adopters would argue yes, it's about time.
But where are the late majority?
Time for some reality therapy if the answer to this question is to be honest, I believe.
Bring your own - device, technology is becoming a bit of a theme.
I'm still pondering this and hope to return soon ...
I want to go back and check one of my first posts ever. I recall I had some "alphabet-related" predictions or musings then.

COSN - AUP Guide
AUP Guide: "Acceptable Use Policies in Web 2.0 & Mobile Era
A Guide for School Districts
Information and communications technologies (ICT) policies in schools have two dimensions. One is to ensure that students are protected from pernicious materials on the Internet. The other is to enable student access to the extensive resources on the Internet for learning and teaching. While these two dimensions are not intrinsically in conflict, in actuality, such can become the case."
