I already have a nice collection of blogs in my blogroll and visit them from time to time. Not always I have time to write comments, though. It's a shame,I know. How other bloggers would know I share their opinions or have some different ones if I don't leave any trace. I myself felt recently, as if I was writing to a drawer (Polish expression... Does it exist in English?) :-( That's why probably my posts are so rare... I definitely need more linking and comment leaving activity :-) Homework it is!

Oh no, wait a minute, that's just me... I must admit that the more other people are doing something the less I find myself wanting to, so think of this as the Apple iPod of TEFL memes and me as the person who insisted on buying Hitachi twice instead. Did get round to doing that Vally of Pain 10 blogs thing, though, so if I can find anyway of doing this while still being an akward bugger might still happen. Well, they do call it anti-social media.

With the relentless pace of social media (a post from 6 months ago now feels like ancient history), a lot of good and highly relevant stuff does end up tucked away, somewhat out of sight. It is a little bit of a concern to me, as I do sometimes whether many of us are becoming over-productive and under-efficient...
