I recently came across this web based group chatting service called Convore. This service allows to to create an account using your Facebook or Twitter credentials once created you can join groups and create your own groups and invite users. You can also create private groups.

I have found the service runs well and because it does not use Flash there don't seam to be any problems with browser plug ins. If you find this service interesting I have included the link above.

We have all witnessed the terrible floods in Queensland if you want to donate to the Flood Appeal just click on the link below that will take you to the offical Queensland Government website.

From everybody at Studyzone we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe start to 2011.

I have been using the social bookmarking tool Delicious for a number of years I have close to 400 links saved so today when I read that Yahoo the owner of Delicious are going to close down the service I was not a happy camper. Thankfully I did not keep all my eggs I mean links in one basket.

I had synced my Delicious links to another service called Diigo. This means when Delicious is no more I wont have lots any of my links.

If you use Delicious then you will need to start looking at an alternative source for your links. If you want to try Diigo I have posted the link below. Also "ThenextWeb" blog as also posted a useful post providing information on 6 alternative services.
