Just scanned around to see what K-12 is doing in weblogs. Seems quiet and a little boring, cause adults are running the show. College through twenty something are active users, but not the highschoolers from what I've found. Wibsite.com found via the Boston twenty something crowd is a hoot. Kyla updated me on Instant Messenger. Yahoo! preferred by the kids I talked to because of enhancements like emoticons, IM backgrounds (including Doodle!), not found on AOL IM. So we did basic three way conversation with Xenia, I added to friends list, and played tic-tac-toe on a Doodle background. Seems to me this could work from Toronto to Lebanon on a Saturday morning! Pretty neat. All this, of course ties into cell phones in a way I can't experience because I have so few 'enabled' friends. But these things can change.
