A tip from YourNetImpact.com: Remember Tumblr.com

The program called "Your Net Impact" is given at www.YourNetImpact.com.  You have an impact on the Internet.  Your choices of what you look at can influence others.
Choice for making posts

There are companies, like the Nielson ratings of TV programs, that track how consumers use media.  We can influence the internet by sharing sites with other, posting comments and links in our Facebook, Youtube, Twitter accounts... and how about Tumblr and Stumble Upon?

It's called "curating" when we select something for a museum.  Why not call it curating when we teachers collect materials to present in class or in our blogs and on youtube videos?
I hope you will follow my niece's tumblr account

A drop in traffic after a redeisgn...



In short, there are plenty of reasons to spend time online with each other -- sharing interesting videos and links to helpful articles.

Bring a device to a restaurant or a family gathering and start exchanging tips.  "What article or video or photo or website have you stumbled on recently?"

Then tell me about it.  theEbookman.tumblr.com
