2010

It has been a tough year for 'free to use' web 2.0 technologies in 2010. We should have seen this coming I guess as the current global economic situation finally hit the tech sector, as they realise that the have to turn a buck!!!!
We had an early warning of what was to happen when the popular site Ning changed to a pay for use service..... it is still retaining its image it would appear.
The latest victim following its acquisition by the troubled giant Yahoo is one of my favourites, which having been around since 2003 has been  a web 2.0 stalwart - Delicious

It is not all doom and gloom however as other new sites and applications such a Prezi for presentations and many others ( link to Edudemic: Best 35 tools on the Web).
I must say a big thank you to Blogger itself for continuing to support the global blogging community year on year.
We look forward to the new innovations to come in 2011...... bring it on.

A dear friend

It seems very apt to be writing this blog post in tribute to a dear, dear friend. The world has lost a true global educational  IT innovator...
