Friday Five: 23 minutes till lunchtime edition

Contextless links on a Friday morning:

1. answering emails/ Video chatting on skype/How ridiculous. That’s just one example — my own — of the latest literary rage, Twitterku. That’s hiaku created from found Twitter texts. Via Boing Boing. (Being a non-Twitterer — or non-Twit, as I prefer — I had to go to the Twitter website to get my TwitterKu text.)
2. No. 11: Doing a Friday Five when your stomach is growling. When is blogging a waste of time? 10 nasty examples.
3. So many social networks … so little time. Struggling to manage all your social networks? MyLifeBrand may be your savior. The service lets users aggregate all their social networks and navigate between them from one place. TechCrunch reviews the service. It sounds promising.
4. A Second Life for higher ed is the topic of Karine Joly‘s latest column for University Business. She plans to post interviews she conducted for this column on her blog in a couple of days.
5. Seven alternatives to Wikipedia. Students of the world, rejoice! No longer do you have to rely solely on Wikipedia for your research papers. Via David Weinberger.
