I think I only managed one blog post over the christmas holidays. I did tumble<\/a> 8 times, post half a dozen links to del.ic.io.us<\/a> and do a fair bit of tweeting<\/a>.
\nI didn’t read my RSS reader at all<\/strong>. I was a bit busy putting together a non-educational site, incorporating flickr, youtube and blog streams, I wish I could use video and flickr on our school site in the same way.<\/p>\n

Last night I opened my reader and basically just marked all as read, I didn’t feel too bad as twitter had been giving me as much reading as I could deal with, lots of links for various edu (and other) bloggers and of course I subscribe to tweets from Scotedublogs<\/a> which kept me up-to-date with my fellow Scots. I don’t know that I’d like to rely on twitter all of the time but it gave an interesting tilt to things and another tilt back tonight when I opened Vienna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There seems to have been and explosion of twitter tools and addons using the and one nice one is Twitter Stats<\/a> this is a perl script which you can run from the terminal in OS X and a numbers template to paste the results into after the perl script copies them to the clipboard, here are my twitter stats:<\/p>\n

\"twitter_stats\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coincidentally<\/strong> today my class were doing a little charting of there own<\/a> surveying the communication tech they have at home as far as I recall this show a huge increase since last year.<\/p>\n
