Twitter is another social networking site. Luckily this one limits you to 140 characters. I do not Facebook, text or tweet. Does this make me boring, old fashioned, out of touch? No, I don't think so. I live the moment, but don't feel the necessity to share the moment. It must somehow fill the enormous need for immediate intimacy and acknowledgment. I am sure that there are educational uses, but at a K-4 perhaps just to get some one's quick and to the point opinion. However, this can be done by email.
I checked out the Best of. I have used Craigslist and find it an amazing resource.
I also checked out .Doc.sto and imcooked. The document site was easy to navigate. I especially liked the section on letters of recommendation, cover letters and resumes. Great for those looking for jobs and applying to college. imcooked was fun. Students in cooking classes could easily video their creations and post them. That would integrate 2 types of technology into the mix.

I have facebook and Twitter accounts - but use them as more of a way to keep in touch with what's happening as opposed to just mindlessly sending random updates about my life.
