Brian Lamb and Alan Levine - Beyond The Blog - Flickr
This is as creative as it gets and not surprisingly has been listed throughout the edublogosphere. Alan Levine and Brian Lamb use Flickr as a presentation tool, creating a series of science fiction pseudo-covers to illustrate their presentation. Love the classically pulp misspelling of my name.

Kate DuBose Tomassi - Stanford On ITunes Is For Everybody - Forbes
The author states that it is "an unprecedented move" as Stanford moves with Apple to podcast "a wide range of lectures, speeches, debates and other university content through iTunes." I am at a bit of a loss to figure out what's unprecedented. Podscasting lectures? No, I've been doing that for two years, and I am by no means alone. Allowing free public access to university course content? No, MIT has that pretty much sewn up with OpenCourseWare. Maybe it's just "unprecedented" for Stanford. Or maybe we're seeing celebrity tabloid journalism as it plays out in the field of i From OLDaily on January 26, 2006 at 6:45 p.m..

Jeff Utecht - Google in China - The Thinking Stick
As everybody (absolutely everybody) in the blogosphere has noted, Google has agreed to censor search results destined for China. My question is: if they are so willing to do this in China, could they have done it here? How would we know? Have they already been asked to do so by an unscrupulous government? What would stop them? Google must change its position on this. [Link] [Tags: Web Logs, Google, OLDaily on January 26, 2006 at 6:45 p.m..

Christopher D. Sessums - Social Software Presentation - ELGG
Nice wiki-based presentation that covers the basics of social software. Not a bad place to start, if this is new to you. Readers interested in this will also want to look at the same author's comments on the emergence of blogs and wikis as social tools (nice reference to MUDs, which I appreciate).

Tim Lauer - Scuttle: Open Source Social Bookmarking Tool - Education/Technology
I talked about del.irio.us last week, an open source alternative to the del.icio.us social bookmarking tool, but noting that it was offline, contemplated authoring my own. Maybe I don't have to, if this open source tool does the job. Worth noting is an edu-specific version of Scuttle. [Link] [Tags: Open Source, del.icio.us] [OLDaily on January 26, 2006 at 6:45 p.m..

Google in China
"...purity is an idea for a yogi or monk¦Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows, I've plunged them in filth and blood"JP Sartre* Google is going to censor results for Chinese users. Andrew McLaughlin, Google's Senior Policy Counsel, puts the problem well: "While removing search results is inconsistent with Google's mission, providing no information (or a heavily degraded user experience that amounts to no information) is more inconsistent with our mission." It's a tough world. Most of what we do is morally mixed. The consequences aren't unambiguously good and From Joho the Blog on January 26, 2006 at 10:49 a.m..

Hoder in Israel
Hoder, the Iranian blogger is in Israel. He writes: I'm going to Israel as a citizen journalist and a peace activist. As a citizen journalist, I'm going to show my 20,000 daily Iranian readers what Israel really looks like and how people live there. The Islamic Republic has long portrayed Israel as an evil state, with a consensual political agenda of killing every single man and woman who prays to Allah, including Iranians. I'm going to challenge that image. [Tags: hoder israel]... From Joho the Blog on January 26, 2006 at 10:48 a.m..
