Check this site out. It is an endless list of random applications and ideas. I have gotten a few ideas from it that have contributed to my productivity. I have it on my feed and dip into the articles I find interesting.

Jonathan-
SimplyBox is a very cool tool. I am curious about how you use it. Do you use it instead of something like diigo or in addition to that kind of application? I would like to streamline things a bit, and between my diigo and Delicious accounts, there's too much web content to manage! I'd appreciate any insight you can offer into this!

At the moment I use it as well as Delicious and Diigo, but probably use it more. I like the visual representation. You can organize them with several boxes, and I embed my collection in my blog too. I use the simply box icon in firefox and find it quick and easy to add new site. I dont bother with tagging etc, so it is quicker if I can just drag it into a box of my choice. Did you know that you can set Diigo to automatically add that bookmark to delicious? That way you just add it once to Diigo, and it will copy it to delicious.

I'd love to see your blog. What's the URL? Mine is: http://somenovelideas.typepad.com. I know what you mean about tagging. Sometimes that takes more time than it's worth! I've been trying to keep what I put in diigo (articles, sections of pages) separate from what I put in Delicious (bookmarked sites). It's a little cumbersome.

Hi again. Just checked out your blog, it's very good. I teach elementary, but sometimes we dip into books that cross between, (e.g. The Hunger Games), so I will look out for those on your site. My site is www.educationtechnologyblog.com

Hey, Anton, feel free to send your folks to a podcast at TechTipTuesday, a similar effort we produced at my school, University School of Nashville, several years ago. Also, there's a healthy ration of links in the closing blog post that may be of help! Cheers!
