So Much to Learn...So Little Time

Teddy Bears Around the World

Sylvia over at Langwitches has been doing some fantastic work concerning global collaboration and global awareness. She is looking for other Primary / Elementary Schools around the world (do I have a worldwide audience) to get involved in the project.

Here's the promotional flyer:

And here's the website:

Serendipity...unaware

It appears me and Roald Dahl have had similar thoughts. Check this quote:

We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it.

Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
British juvenile author (1916 - 1990)

Spokeo...SPOOOkeo

Spokeo

Does anyone else think this new social media tool is just going too far. I'm sure the idea of being able to track your friends content was the original innocent idea, BUT if you use this service the person you are tracking does not need to know. You don't have to be invited or approved or even be registered at Spokeo.

Apparently it can even track what you buy or want to buy on Amazon

I'm presuming then that "enlightened" companies / universities could use such a service to background check potential candidates. JUST ANOTHER REASON TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PUT OUT THERE.

                    All users can track information that is publicly available.
         

In other words anything that is on public view can be tracked.

Your reading list is completely private. Nobody knows what you are
tracking, not even the friends you track. Since Spokeo is a friend
tracker and not a social network, you can rest assured that everything
you do on Spokeo is completely private.

As I say SPOOOKEO!
