- Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software. Some open source licenses meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition. Some open source software is available within the public domain. Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements. The difference between free software and open source is that open source software license allows modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

- Twitter has grown up and is no longer about what you had for breakfast. Being selective about who you follow allows you to create your own personal learning network Don’t know who to follow? Start with people you know and look at who they follow Connect with people you liked at conferences – see who they follow Connect with public institutions like libraries, museums or educational institutions – see who they follow Regularly check your twitter feeds Want to use twitter for your school this article is worth a read http://www.schneiderb.com/howto-start-using-twitter-for-your-school/#dsq-add-new-comment
- Here are a few tips on how to use Twitter to foster a strong local network: Be genuine and let your personality shine through. Show your appreciation for local Twitter friends with re-tweets and feature your local favorites on a Follow Friday(#FF) list. Think of Twitter almost like a chat room – respond and add your own input to what your friends have to say. Use the Twitter lists feature to organize your favorite local ―tweeps‖. You can break down your lists even further if you’d like, with separate lists for local friends, media and businesses to collaborate with. Use applications like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck to organize your lists and search for keywords relevant to your area. I have Twitter streams set up in Hootsuite for key terms like ―NOLA‖ and ―New Orleans‖ to alert me to tweets by new people who I might be interested in following and connecting with

With Flite, marketers receive up to a 10x increase in ROI on their brand spend with ads developed in 1/10th the time.

These pages come pre-installed with custom functionality designed for each category.

Third party developers will also build an array of applications that they will compete for Page Admins to add to their Pages. Facebook Pages are also not subject to a fan limit and can automatically accept fan requests. /help/?faq=12808
