Tool for liveblogging that is actually live--it works like typing an instant message. The app sits in an iframe, which means it can't be embedded in Wordpress or Edublogs, but it does work in a wiki. Also allows for reader comments--could be interesting for doing an interview or discussion and recording it for others to view.

Applying reading comprehension strategies (questioning, making connections, inferring, etc.) and tips for students to improve blog conversations.

Design ideas from someone who says that every part of his blog design is intentional. It may not be perfect, but he's thought about all the elements and how they help him accomplish his goals. Some of this is visual design, but a lot of it is general usability and effectiveness.

Dave Ferguson explains at the end of this post his "three links out" idea. You read a post on one of your regular blogs, then click a link (1). From there, click another link (2). From that place, click a third link (3). This brings you outside your regular circle of reading so you're explosed to new people and ideas. Seems like a good lifelong learning technique.
