Bartsville Public Library Teen Stuff

Here is a really cool public library who offers a blogging site for their teens to participate in. They offer links to sites like:

• Guild Cafe - build your own guild
• StyleMob - make your own styles
• Book blogs by teens
• Del.icio.us cloud - tags
• Back to School Tools~
• ~Clipmarks - highlight text on web pages and tag them
• ~Gradefix - prioritize your homework to get work done on time
• ~Gliffy - create diagrams, flow charts, and floorplans
• ~Create a graph
• ~Fleck - add notes to websites and send to your friends or blog

Very cool, I was just playing around and found out how to highlight a selection, of homework reading-of course, and send it directly to my blog--AND it pulled the article title too! and quotes too! and creates a link to the specific page that I gave it. wow, i am impressed. BTW its the "send to" button in Modzilla, google bar.
