How I use ifttt
Just in case you’ve missed this one, ifttt is a neat new web service currently in beta that has the potential to really help out those of us who struggle to keep all the various online channels we are part of together in some kind of logical way.
Ifttt – If this, then that – attempts to link together web services to make them work for you. By adding simple rules to ifttt you can take out some of the repetition of your online routine.
Can my school buy a Kindle?
Earlier this week our librarian popped in to see us. They purchased a Kindle but had since been told that the license agreement wouldn’t allow them to use it with students.

A call to Amazon & a bit of Googling later this is the current position in the UK.
