Comments on: Diving In, Headfirst! http://kmulford.edublogs.org/2008/05/30/diving-in-headfirst/ Thoughts on Ed Tech, Parenting, and ASD Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:20:58 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: kmulford http://kmulford.edublogs.org/2008/05/30/diving-in-headfirst/comment-page-1/#comment-27 kmulford Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:18:54 +0000 http://kmulford.edublogs.org/?p=26#comment-27 This is so true, Luke. Funny how tired people have become of tools like TwitWheel and Wordle already, hm? I know I can't get to all of them, so I wait until the hubbub has subsided, usually. Those that "rise to the top" tend to be worthwhile -- but not always. I know I'm not using Diigo well enough to get the full potential, so I'm going to look into tag bundling as a start. I haven't gotten much out of Facebook yet except a large group of friends (many of whom I know from Twitter, anyway) and a new addiction to Scrabulous. But the one I probably should really be looking into is MySpace -- because my musician son is interested in MySpace Music as a vehicle for promoting his music. (Then again, why not use Facebook for that?) Well, first things first... need to build his website first! But thanks for the comment. You're so right. This is so true, Luke.

Find those few that work for you and don't worry about the rest. If they're that great, or become the new "killer app", you'll at least be able to say you knew about it, checked it out, but decided you didn't really need it.
