Two For Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

1. Nudge Mail - Reminders Made Easy
If you use your email as a to do list, nudge mail can help keep you organized. Once you sign up, you can forward your email to "monday@nudgemail.com" or "2hours@nudgemail.com" and your email will return as a reminder when you need it. You can even "snooze" a message if you aren't quite ready to deal with it yet.

2. PS Give - Make your holiday shopping benefit others.
Bid on items and give to charity at the same time. Organizations include Boys & Girls Club, Children's Defense Fund, Keep America Beautiful, National Breast Cancer Coalition and more.

Two For Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

The students in my digital journalism class created screencasts for a number of different Web 2.0 tools.

Here are two of my favorites:
1. Shelfari - A social network for people who love books
You can use Shelfari to find good books to read, review the books you have read, discuss your books with others and more. Check out this screencast by Agazi Desta to learn how to get started.



2. Webs - Create your own Website for free
This is a great tool for not only creating Websites but also creating communities. This would be a great alternative to Ning as it includes the option to create a discussion forum on your site. Arien Woodrow made a screencast that shows you how to get started using Webs.
