Educational Plurk-ers You Should Follow
Kevin Honeycutt has created and is sharing a new Google Doc called Who New Plurkers Should Follow and Why. It is a great resource and would be helpful to anyone wishing to network with top notch people interested in education and technology.
Haven’t tried Plurk? Take a look now. It’s a microblogging platform similar to Twitter, but it has threaded discussion.
Ning for Teacher Educators
Technology Integration Teacher Educators is a network of teacher educators with an interest in educational technology. It is a growing network with some big plans. I encourage you to join if this sounds like a useful resource for you.
Jott Alternatives
I was a big fan of Jott and used it a lot when it was a free. However, its services are not valuable enough to me to merit being added to my list of monthly communications expenses (phone, Internet, cell, etc.).

Here are the replies that I received from my Plurk buddies.
These are the responses from my Twitter friends.
Thanks to everyone that provided feedback and suggested resources. I’ve not had a chance to look at these, but I hope to share my reviews once I have.
