• coolcatteacher - Web 2 Smackdown

  The ustream for the Web 2 smackdown and a list of links from the session on a wiki page. Some people don't like the term "smackdown" which originated from wrestling (guess it shows my southern roots) -- just meant to be a lot of fun and sharing - not supposed to be too serious.
  
  Lots of great tools shared here. The ustream is great if you have time, if you don't, there are quite a few links in the diigo list I share here.
