19:37:09 sharonp -> gotta check out that Bloggers Cafe thang
19:37:22 sharonp -> they did not list podcasts
19:37:23 Anne Leftwich -> That's what the Twitter and our EdTechTalk network allows us to do
19:37:32 Cathy Nelson -> but be sure to check the skypecasts from David Jakes

19:37:52 Cathy Nelson -> he did a phenominal job orchestrating some of the skypecasts
19:38:08 sharonp -> kinda strange - at BLC there were high flyers (i.e. Will R., Dave J., Darren K.) and a whole bunch of teachers who were really uninformed about web 2.0
19:38:10 JenW -> LOL -- he just doesn't like "hellos"
19:38:15 jeff -> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070720-copyright-board-of-canada-...

19:38:57 JenW -> I can't add one more thing to my life -- so will not request a POUNCE
19:38:58 carlaarena -> Dafne was amazed how fast I was! Twitter, I told her!
19:39:02 JohnSchinker -> I still think that creates a situation where people can then legally pirate music, because they've already paid for it.
19:39:05 jeff -> http://www.zoo-m.com/flickr-storm/
