Are you thinking about using web2tools for research, administration or teaching? If so, make a quick start with the web2practice user guides.
The web2practice guides explain how emergent web technologies like RSS, microblogging, podcasting and social media can enhance your working practice.

Facebook a valid educational tool, teachers told | Education | Education Guardian
Teachers and lecturers are getting the lowdown on how to use social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo in an educational way.
Most schools and colleges in the UK block access to the websites but they are missing out on their potential for education, a government-funded guide says.
The report for Childnet International and funded by Becta, the government body for technology in learning, says while teachers and lecturers may be using social networking services they may not recognise the educational potential for their students.
Schools could help students develop "e-portfolios" where learners can record their achievements and collect examples of their work, the guide suggests. Or teachers could use social networking services to set up groups that "semi-formalise" students' online communications and "document discussions and milestones as they go".
