By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Posterous Is a Brilliant Blogging Tool
Posterous allows you to post to your blog using email. It also performs some nifty feats, such as converting photos included as attachments into a photo gallery (here's an example). Redirecting email to an application remains one of those things that it is tricky to do on your own with your own server, so Postereous performs a useful service. More...
Concept Maps
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Concept Maps
Well this has to be useful, right? I'm not sure exactly how, but still... "I spend the last week manually entering and partially organizing all the concepts in the California state science curriculum. There were at least 2,000 concepts, so it was a pretty lengthy task... Please note that the concept system has not been fully integrated into the rest of the edu 2.0 system; it's a work in progress". More...
Two Great Tools
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Two Great Tools
I just got email saying my proposal to CADE/AMTEC has been accepted (good thing - it was the only paper submission I sent out this year!) so I'll be in Winnipeg in mid-May. This is a good time to take a break, as I have other travel plans as well: Toronto at the end of March, Boston (e-learning Guild) and Bogota for conferences in April, Holland at the end of May, Taiwan in June and Anaheim in October.

Tools for Gathering Data for Blog and Web Page Metrics
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Beth Kanter[Edit][Delete]: Tools for Gathering Data for Blog and Web Page Metrics, December 7, 2006
Is traffic the metric for weblog success? I am not willing to believe it is - for otherwise, I should be aiming for BoingBoing or Instapundit style numbers, which means doing what they do. But I am not interested in doing what they do - I find their interests a bit lightweight for my tastes (and let me be clear - this strictly about tastes, not some sort of pretension). If I had to measure, I would want to track something like 'impact' - ah, but that is a much harder thing to track. You don't get it without readership, to be sure. More...
