19:11:45 matt montagne -> does anyone know where twitter is from?? They seem to be super secret
19:12:01 cyndidannerkuhn -> The desktop clients like Tweetdeck save Twitter
19:12:05 Gary -> @Sharon - because it was before Pownce?
19:12:37 sharonp -> @Gary I think it is one of those interesting questions - why one app flourishes while another dies?
19:12:40 matt montagne -> @sharonP...good quest...why is twitter still alive?? It has so many issues there for a while...
19:12:45 cyndidannerkuhn -> I hope Obama can accomplish it!
19:12:45 dave -> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28035543/
19:13:22 sharonp -> Pownce had more functionality - could thread comments, no limit to words, etc - seemingly a better wya to build community

19:17:07 mrsdurff -> hey Posie!
19:17:07 Jeff -> http://www.socialmention.com/
19:17:13 matt montagne -> looks a bit like wordpress

19:18:23 mrsdurff -> hey moixland
19:18:35 moixland -> hey mrsdurff
19:18:38 JohnS -> Should textbooks or technology be Texas' spending priority? : http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/around-the-web/index.cfm?i=56230 
19:18:41 sheila -> Heard about that today. NPR. Possible appeal though.
19:19:12 randyn -> or Facebook for that matter
19:19:17 moixland -> hello kindle!
19:19:21 Gary -> It is an innovative idea.
19:19:29 mrsdurff -> so computers don't convey any information
19:19:30 JohnS -> textbook funds must be used for "conveying information." That excludes computer hardware. So they're spending $110 per kid for books this year, and $30 per kid for computers. And the book budget is supposed to double next year.
19:19:33 Gary -> Let the teachers write what they need.
19:19:34 mrsdurff -> who knew?
19:19:44 cyndidannerkuhn -> can you believe the stupidity in Texas, of course George Bush is from there!!
19:20:14 matt montagne -> I believe the policy in many california districts is similar
19:20:17 moixland -> the physics hasn't changed, but what about the pedagogy?
19:20:18 troyapeterson -> Nothing has happened in physics in the last 15 minutes.
19:20:23 mrsdurff -> @cyndidannerkuhn thinking this is probably county wide
19:20:28 troyapeterson -> Nothing new anyway

19:22:11 JohnS -> and we don't want to use AT&T
19:22:20 matt montagne -> my recommendation on iPhone apps:  Don't buy any apps...only go for the freebies
19:22:31 cyndidannerkuhn -> just got an iPhone, love it!!
19:22:35 moixland -> so much of the functionality of the iphone is in the iPod Touch..  with no monthly fee

19:23:53 sroseman -> we have an ipodtouch ... most of the apps work
19:24:06 mrsdurff -> hi kevin

19:27:33 matt montagne -> there is no comparison b/t the kindle digital ink and the back-lit screens of iPhones and laptops...the kindle is WAY easier on the eyes
19:27:40 JenM -> http://designedtoinspire.com/drupal/node/641

20:00:57 moixland -> randyn, if you listen on plain headphones it will make the echo go away
20:01:10 sharonp -> why do they mention the OLPC?
20:01:25 JenM -> http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/
20:01:39 randyn -> ok, i'll get those earbuds i have laying around

20:02:39 moixland -> unitedstreaming is "free" to all schools in our state because of an arrangement made "higher up"
20:02:42 sharonp -> ie - can the movies be downloaded onto XOs?
20:02:55 matt montagne -> good stuff troy
20:03:01 sharonp -> (I have two more XOs to ship to Africa)
