As books move from print to digital, there’s been much hand-wringing about the impact this shift will have on libraries.

What is an iTeacher? New teachers joining the profession are iTeachers - many of them are part of the digital generation in our schools. Others bring experience from other fields outside of education where social networking, professional learning networks, and everything digital is a means of good business and staying in touch with "clients".
This post provides 5 tips for iTeachers...

Interesting and very informative piece by Brian Solis for Social Media Today.
This is part 6 of a series of posts where Brian introduces his new Book The End of Business as Usual.
I must tell you that if you haven't gotten a copy of this book, you should, it is excellent, timely and relevant!
To paraphrase - social media is becoming part of our cultural fabric and even as we witness businesses, governments, sports teams, and almost every organization socialize communication efforts today,
****much of what we see is merely the beginning of something that will one day become something far more important than the medium itself.
****it is about how people are spending their time, interacting and connecting with one another, and what happens as a result.
To demonstrate the point, there are some profound findings from the recently released Nielsen Social Media Report.

Dan Kaplan of Twilio imagines a future where Siri integrates Quora and sees it as a complete game-changer.
I won't go into whether Quora has been to much overhyped or whether it's under-rated right now. I have no ways to predict whether it's true or not but what Dan sees in Quora is that they've built a way to extract "high-quality experiential knowledge out of humanity’s collective head and getting it into structured form on the internet" and also use "humanity’s collective wisdom to rank it".
What's interesting is the way this is being done: by combining social activities and human input with algorithms. This reminds me of the humanrithm concept and the quality equation of Tim Greenhalg.
This article looks ahead but it resonnates with a simple reality: I end up searching Quora a lot more than Google for certain types of questions. When I want a human opinion, some added value and background and not just top-SEO'ed commercial links. You should check some good examples here: http://www.scoop.it/t/my-favorite-quora-questions
There seem to be a lot of potential for curated search, all the more if a human voice is actually its user interface. So yes, Google, pay attention! Via Guillaume Decugis, janlgordon

Thanks Jan. I think so too. Some people have discounted Quora rapidly but the quest to organize collective human intelligence is a great one.

I couldn't agree with you more - knowledge networks are the way of the future. Quora is playing a huge role in this area.

They say a house is only as good as its foundation, and we believe the same holds true for web applications like Google Docs.
With our old foundation, we could continue delivering most features you wanted quickly, but over time it became clear that some just weren’t possible. So we decided to rebuild the underlying infrastructure of Docs to give us greater flexibility, improved performance and a better platform for developing new features quickly.
Today, we’re pleased to announce preview versions of the new Google document and spreadsheet editors and a new standalone drawings editor, all built with an even greater focus on speed and collaboration. To get a taste of what’s new today, check out our video: Via Gust MEES, Anne Whaits

Excerpt from the article intro: News curation is the act of finding, grouping, organizing and sharing the most relevant and noteworthy news stories about specific topics of interest.
Unlike traditional online news publishers (newspapers, magazines, TV networks) and blogs, which primarily create original content, news curators focus on finding (or cultivating)the best content that is already published.
There are three primary types of news curation sites, exemplified by Techmeme, Yahoo! News and The Huffington Post, each a leader in their category. Via Robin Good
