Check out these links:

• The Creative Circus - I still want to attend this school. Unfortunately, it's pretty expensive and apparently I make too much money to receive financial aid… bullshit. I'm just a black woman tryin' to make it in a white man's world. Cut me some slack.
• » What do you want from the next iPhone? - I would definitely agree with some community members. I would like a better camera, video recording, iChat, better email, a more efficient battery, and the ability to apply any song as a ringtone.

  On the other hand, I'd hate for them to make it thicker. I really like the sleek form with minimal buttons.

As social networking sites have increased in number, their capabilities have become more robust and resourceful. For example, no longer is a simple MySpace bulletin only used to break up with your boyfriend of 2 months. You can relay more important information and solidly link to friends and followers across many social outlets like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and your own personal blog.

Not that a failed long-term relationship is unimportant… But, sites like Twitter have made available new ways to communicate and learn. I learn quite a bit every day by scrolling through the tweets of my fellow Twits (is that right?). From Chris Pirillo’s plethora of tweets linking to his often-updated technology blog to Ariel Walden’s daily observations, which, by the way, are quite interesting. Sure, I’ve never actually met these people, but I feel like I’ve established a pretty good idea of who they are by what they share with the iWorld.

Because of its ease of use and the communication possibilities Twitter has, it would be a fantastic tool to be utilized in a classroom setting. No, not for first-graders. Middle-school students and up, all the way to college grad-school students can benefit greatly from the service. Instructors/Teachers would be taking a more progressive, catered approach to learning in a way that is relevant to today’s wide-spread technologically inclined population. Can you imagine a discussion on Sylvia Plath’s,  The Bell Jar taking place on your mobile phone while you are out with friends grabbing a cup of coffee?
