Here is an excellent solution by @betchaboy Chris who was most kind to share this with the community on the web. Twitter can become a major source for distraction, especially if you get a lot of new followers and getting notificatons in your email. If you want to decide whether to follow a person you need to open their profile in twitter, read through the tweets to decide whether this might be of some relevance or interest to you and then decide. Chris has found a great tool that saves time and keeps your follower notifications organized. But see yourself – he even made a great video to explain how to do this and how it works. Thanks, Chris!

has published a nice blog entry on the free screencasting software Jing. It is short and precise and as Jing is one of my favourite apps, I would like to recommend it here.
I have been using Jing for a year now, a very easy-to-use tool for making quick explanations which you can either save on your computer or online and then embed in your applications. Here comes a detailed description how you can use this tool not only for teaching but also for learning by having students use it to create their own videos. No special skills are needed for that and Jing is always quietly sitting on the edge of my screen to be helpful when I need it. Great tool!
