 What's twitter?

 * [|www.twitter.com] is a social networking tool that allows you to connect with others that have similiar interests as you. My connections are primarily with technology and foreign language teachers who "tweet" great resources, websites, and tools for the classroom.

What's delicious??

 * [|www.delicious.com] is an online bookmarking tool that allows you to save all of your useful websites to one location. You can also search others' bookmarks and see what tools teachers in your field are using.
