USC Upstate held its first SpeedGeeking event Friday afternoon in Spartanburg, SC. The event was a chance for interested members of the university and community to hear 9 rapid-fire, 10-minute presentations on uses of new technology for academic, pedagogical, and collaborative purposes.

On my recent two-week visit at UIC, I was asked which online resources I use most frequently. I mentioned TagCrowd, del.icio.us, Zotero, Needle, and HASTAC (of course!).
