Tweetdeck


I honestly can't believe I haven't posted about Tweetdeck before. I absolutely LOVE this application for Twitter. Ok, I'm highly addicted to Twitter. Sometimes I'm asked, "How can you possibly follow so many people and find value?" My answer is Tweetdeck!

It's a free download that runs on Adobe Air.

It takes a while to learn all that you can do on Tweetdeck. I recommend you do a google search and read some guides or watch a video on YouTube about all the features it has.

Sorry, time to fire up Tweetdeck and find some tweeps!

Need to Teach (or Learn) Touch Typing?

I recently found a FREE online application to help teach touch typing on either the Qwerty or Dvorak keyboard. It's not fancy, but great fun for students.

LibraryThing



I love LibraryThing! As a frequent shopper at used book sales, I have frequently purchased duplicate copies of books. With LibraryThing, I can enter all my books (even using a cue cat to scan the ISBN numbers) and have access to this list from my cell phone, etc.

There are free accounts for up to 200 books (hey, there's more than that under my bed!) yearly accounts for $10 or lifetime (This was my choice) for $25.

There is also a social aspect to LibraryThing. You can view lists, reviews, friend people, etc.
