@audrey_nay I consider Tweet Nest 1 of my most valuable “information traps” now. I rarely use social bookmarks anymore, I tweet instead :-)
@audrey_nay yes, Tweet Nest has a search box. It’s install procedure is similar to a self-hosted Wordpress setup, a bit geeky but doable!
@techyturner I saw some of the flooding pics on @CNN - looked bad! Hopefully the WX cooled off for you all… It finally has here. Very nice
@DanAgins some folks are more prone to see skin color & highlight it, I guess.
@techyturner indeed - the rain is just starting to fall now. We need it!!!!!
@audrey_nay no I just have a free @diigo account, I archive my tweets & favs with Tweet Nest wfryer.me/1fa (free/open source)

@lobroo I should have included you in my reply to @audrey_nay - MT = modified tweet (has extra info, not JUST a RT)
@colegioflama sadly few of our school board members & administrators feel that strong sense of urgency to change :-(
@grabe in the long run maybe, but I think the key difference is Apple’s App Store. People make impulse buys for 99¢
