Washington Post assistant editor Rachel Dry, who was a senior at Harvard when Mark Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com from his college dorm room on February 4, 2004, wrote a commencement address for The New Republic. In it, Dry wonders if Facebook is taking "on the big inequities," as Bill Gates -- like Zuckerberg, a famous Harvard dropout...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/229914302/facebook_social_change.php Visual Studio 2008 Training Materials- February 5, 2008 Now that you've garnered your copy of Visual Studio 2008 from the many installfests we've run across the country, it's time to put it through it's paces and learn about all of the great new features found in both Visual Studio and .NET 3.5.

Enter Ript, a free download for Windows systems that offers much of the same grabbing functionality as its project-oriented brethren, but does so without any browser extensions and creates an end product with a highly tweak-able layout. Drag images or copy text into the "bin" Ript creates on your..http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/229641528/make-a-scrapbook-from-the-web-with...

The Beyes enrolled the girl in a treatment program they thought was covered by insurance. Three weeks later, their insurance provider, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, informed the couple they would no longer pay for the child's treatment.

It was a free seminar, so there were a lot of registrants (over 1100) the actual attendee roster was over 600, but what was most impressive was the engagement of the audience, there were lots of responses to the three polls we queried and over 190 questions. Justin Flowers said he learned a lot from the webinar (his expectations were low since it was free), and there are dozens of responses within Twitter. ..http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebStrategyByJeremiah/~3/226776088/ |
