Rails Template: Create a Twitter Application in Seconds - Intridea Company Blog →

Rails templates in 2.3 seems to be VERY powerful… The idea that you can get a Rails template for a twitter app and almost instantly have a starting point for a twitter app/mashup is phenominal and will lead to a surge in creativity (i believe).

Education on the Internet!

Continueing my train of thought form yesterday and developing on this idea of producing Internet TV…

The more I learn about blip.tv the more I really like blip.tv!
They seem to be positioned in such a way that really speaks to what I was talking about yesterday… in fact they have it all pretty much setup with advertising revenue sharing and all.  What is a little sad is that I am just learning about this…

So really the future is in creating, producing, and distributing good programming and getting a following.

One idea for a show is, um, tutoring! Right?

The show could follow a student for a year, reviewing concepts learned in a class on a daily, but probably weekly basis.
Take Pre-Calc, which I am working on with students recently.  Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to watch an episode of “Math Class Today” (or whatever it will be called) where it reviews the key concepts of the sections that covered this week?

An episode could cover: what is a one-to-one function?  how to find the inverse of a function… etc.  That would be an episode.
Each episode would prepare you for a test… or something like that… could also throw in a “where would i use this” section… just ideas of course. No lack of those!

i think this could be an “it” idea
thoughts?
