"In Voionmaa high school we use Dropbox in many ways. Teachers have their own account for sharing files, some teachers also share files with each other. Every teacher has also iPad and Dropbox is a useful tool for iPad users. That is why also many of our students have accounts to share all videos and images from iPad image file."

"A new app for the iPad and Android devices uses a highly visual format to provide a different search experience for the tablet user. More than just a pretty interface, Izik—which debuted last month as the top reference app in iTunes—is based on Blekko, the search engine that boasts higher quality results based on human curation."

“Open data” — the philosophy and practice of making the data collected by government agencies freely available to the public — is critical to increasing citizens’ engagement with their governments. Since 2010, hundreds of nations, regions, and cities across the world have launched their own open data initiatives. For example, datacatalogs.org maintains centralized lists of local, regional, and national data catalogs. Europe is heavily represented: nearly every country publishes open data, geospatial files and maps and statistics. Within each nation, local councils, regional governments, and autonomous regions are publishing their own locally-relevant open data. Spain, Italy, and France each boast over a dozen internal data catalogs created by local agencies... Whether or not open data portals eventually lead to open, transparent, and accountable democratic governments is still up for debate, but they remain indispensable to the citizens, researchers, and journalists using data from these sites. Read the complete post for a better understanding of open data in a concise, yet informative article with numerous links and specific initiatives referenced for further research... Via Lauren Moss

It's not the size of government that counts. It's the transparency, agility, and democracy of goverment that matters.

When you find information on line, are you one of those that tend to simply copy and paste that information into a text document?
While it works, there has to be an easier way.
Annotary is a web service which allows users to highlight information, bookmark those sites, take notes, and share with other people. i.e. it’s a very good note-taking tool for any website.
Any annotations and highlighting will stay where you users add it whenever they return to the site, which makes remembering all of their edits no longer necessary.
The service can be used through extensions, which are available for Firefox and Chrome
Note:- Requires a free account. Via John Dalziel Delete the scoop?
