For those of you who use a Bookmark service, we now have an easy way for you to tag web pages for later referral.  You will notice the words "Tag It" across from the title of every article along with a row of icons.  Clicking on the appropriate icon for your service will tag that message for you.  Simple and easy.   If you aren't yet using this type of service, you may want to take a look.  It allows you to use your bookmarks (favorites) from any computer on the Internet!  I'm using del.icio.us and I like it a lot!

If the above paragraph doesn't make an iota of sense to you, you might want to ask a teenager for assistance in translating the message written in Texting, the way that GenNext communicates -- much to the horror of their teachers.

To translate what your teen is saying on her Blackberry, go to www.lingo2word.com. You are keeping up with popular culture, right? Translation: Hello. ....... I am writing you from the future Spocko! I have written this short column entirely in text messaging lingo -- which is now accepted worldwide. I work for a news text firm and I write a sports column and occassionally report on local interests here in The Bay Area. I urge all you writers to keep up with technology -- you never know what writing might look like tomorrow! RedRyder
