A couple of doctors, a creative writer, various other ...

Like | robinna | Nov 1, 2007 | my projects
A little more manageable than nanowrimo (National Write a Novel in a Month), NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) is still a daunting task. However, my art journal was feeling woefully uninspired, so I decided to see if I could use NaBloPoMo to get it back on track.

Finally, some real contendors in aggregating social networking — a centralized spot to collect all of YOUR web 2.0 stuff! Isn’t it funny how there is all of this “stuff” and then the next step is to organize it and streamline it (sounds like cataloging, no)?
