Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Thing 12-Tagging and Social Bookmarking

Ok so I feel like a wee bit of a low tech loser here, I never knew these things existed. I love this. I hate how every year when I come back to school if my computer has been reformatted I have lost all of my bookmarks. Plus on a personal note I taught myself how to knit last year and now love it and I am always looking for patterns and find them all over the net but feel its a waste of a bookmark on the home computer. This new type of book marking will do wonders for that. Last but not least I think this will be great in terms of transferring work from my home to school. I have often found that I have located a great website but can never remember the address when I am away from the original computer. I am very excited to set up this account in thing 13, my only concern is will we be able to install the tool bars as mentioned in the video on our school computers or will this be something that needs a help desk ticket?

You can use delicious just fine at school. Diigo is a little harder because it is hard to do without the toolbar which we have not been able to install from school. I have a feeling things will change. Did I miss Thing 13? Maureen
