Siva Vaidhyanathan, "Generational Myth: Not all young people are tech-savvy," The Chronicle Review (Sept. 19, 2008)
Vaidhyanathan's point: stop talking about the "digital generation." It's bullshit. Among current students, some are comfortable with web technology, others are not, and most are anything but "savvy." For example: they have no idea how to use Google effectively, just like twenty years ago most of them had no idea how to use a library reference room effectively, and no idea how to analyze broadcast or print media critically. Why should they? Are people thinking they somehow pick up these skills by osmosis just because computers are lying around?

uTag - Reward your influence (URL shortening with ad banners)
Not sure why I'm bookmarking this, except that it may be useful to other people. It looks like a really well-thought-out service, except that of course they don't seem to include (prominently enough to spot in a quick walk-through of the site) any screenshots so you actually know what your visitors are going to see.
