Why am I doing this?
"Teachers who resist integrating technology do so partly because they see limited value added. In addition -- as they are learning -- they see time and energy lost, and they anticipate frustration when things don't go smoothly. They ask, "Why bother?" It's a valid question. "
Need4Feed
"Need4feed is a Twitter analytics tool that analyzes tweets within the context of a conference hash tag - in this case #heweb09. It uses an algorithm that examines responses to specific tweets, and builds a popularity ranking for that tweet. This ranking identifies those tweets that may have broad appeal for others using the same hash tag."
