Thing 12

I subscribed to Diggit and replied to an article in the NY Times about 3 bloggers who recently dropped dead due to unknown causes, but likely related to the amount of time spent in front of a computer figuring stuff like this out.
My dad clips articles from the newspaper and mails them to me, so this is the online, collaborative version of my dad! I get it. This is helpful in libraries since these sites can sort and catalog (somewhat) newsarticles for patron use. In school, we can collect and sort by topic for student use.
It's still an overwhelming tool and I plan to spend more time learning. I chose Diggit because it looks cleaner and simpler. It also has podcasts.
