Can anyone keep up with Twitter? On a normal Twitter day, my PLN is always busy, but during NECC, well, the outage amps up and flies faster than double ground-strike lightning. From the folks at Common Craft collaborating with members of their Explainer Network, SayItVisually, comes a cool video, Skype Explained Visually.

This post is part of some changes coming soon from our LC bloggers. Whether we call it Tech Tuesdays, 2.0 Tech, or Web 2.0 Wednesdays, we hope to feature a tech tool a week. Simple explanations, tutorials, something lean and clean and easily inserted into what you already do. Our goal is (and I’m stealing this one from Brinson) to make phenomenal teaching easier and faster. So, be on the lookout for tech tools that are fast, fun, and free.

A super STAR, a team player, and NY DEN’s LC member, Lisa Parisi just added another award and our DEN community is so proud of her. Join us as we send virtual kudos to our very own Lisa Parisi, ISTE’s Third Place winner of the 2009 SIGTel Online Learning Award with Christine Southard.

PA DEN LC’s own Bridget Belardi presented Library Smackdown today at NECC.

Library 2.o Smackdown Resources.

Thanks to Christine Southard’s post on the NY DEN blog, you can access ISTE’s livestreaming at NECC. Don’t let the first image fool you; go to the second for streaming.

Not at NECC? Me neither, but if wishes were llamas, I’d have a flock of them. If you want to tap into the wonderful world of DEN resources–and you missed Steve Dembo’s Top 10 Web 2.0 tools–no problem. We have it for you on-demand. Warning: watching Dembo definitely supercharges your morning, making him your Starbucks super grande!

• On the Deaths of Peter Pan & the Beauty Queen | Jimboland Jots

  This week, Generation Xers faced an inevitable rite of passage: the death of two of their popular and iconic figures, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Fittingly, Twitter reported that nearly 1/3 of its tweets were about Michael Jackson’s death, and there are rumors that Google slowed down because of all of the searchers seeking news.
