When I was exploring social book marking service I’ve chosen www.blinklist.com. In general it suited all my needs. I used it in order not to loose good links.

Right now I’ve founded a new service offered by Blinklist and one very good example of this service is here: http://bus301.blinklist.com/. It’s a page of a teacher who posts links on materials that his students have to read. After reading they need to rate these links and leave their opinion. They need to do this because the final phrase that teacher writes is "This contributes 20% of your final grade!". This is the most wonderful usage of Internet in education I’ve ever seen!

A friend of mine said that I write a lot of about books - well that’s partly true, because almost every new book shows me new horizons. For example a book Nobrow by John Seabrook. I’m in the middle and somehow John’s text make me think of my blog.

Recently it was hard for me to write here a lot, I was sitting and thinking "Hey, this is not very serious stuff to write about in the blog". But what I get instead? Instead of writing on things that really interest me, we see a lot of days without posts. Dear Friends! I’ve understood my fault and from today I’ll post much more. Maybe not a lot of topics will be pure business ones, but anyway it will be interesting ;).

With best regards, Dmitry Linkov.

In Moscow appeared a totally broken ad. It’s Nestea with "Winter Orange taste" that heats you up. What is a logic? We have -5 degrees Celcium, and how WINTER orange can do this? If it was Summer or Miami or jus HOT orange - no problem. But not the winter one…

If somebody cannot answer clearly on your question, he/she either doesn’t know the answer or the answer is not so nice.

Not long time ago our friend Julia gave us a lot of Brazilian music. She knows Portuguese very well and also visited Brazil a few times. She said that the music is blazing. I listened to a few albums but was not so optimistic about this. I thought why, and the answer I think is: I don’t know Portuguese.

I never loved French music, but after I start learning this language it seems to me that French music is Fantastic! I think correlation between music and language you are listening has to be, what do you think?
