Hi Everyone, As an open education resource project, we are committed to keeping our content free. Our project is based on a culture of permissions -- where creators of knowledge give us permission to share, reuse and adapt their creative works. Microblogging is a great way to share thoughts and ideas and to connect with your online social networks. identi.ca is a free micro-blogging service which uses free software with the added advantage that all content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license. This means WE are free to share and use this content. The OER Foundation and WikiEducator are planning to integrate microblog features in our free online courses. Kudos to Jim Tittsler, our lead software engineer, who has developed an experimental widget to embed live feeds based on hashtag searches from identi.ca. We've set up a demo page for you to take a look and post something using your identi.ca account (only if you have nice things to say about WikiEducator :-)). See: http://wikieducator.org/Indenti.ca_Demo All feedback and thoughts are most welcome. 2011 will be a quantum shift year for OER!
