We’ve done several posts on web tools for students. Larry Ferlazzo recently posted his top 14 list here. Ferlazzo’s top rated Web 2.0 tool is called Tumblr. Tumblr’s technology helps you make a “tumblelog.” What is that? Well, here’s how Tumblr defines it, “If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks.”

Basically, tumblelogs are a place where you can quickly add information in multiple mediums. The creators say, “Blogs are great, but they can be a lot of work. And they’re really built to handle longer-form text posts. Tumblelogs, on the other hand, let you easily and quickly post and share anything you find or create.”

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Next Student also has a top ten list. Their number one suggested tool is called Bookfinder. Bookfinder, Next Student says lets you search through “125 million books for sale from 4,000 sellers.” I’ve always used AddAll for this but BookFinder seems to include more sellers.

And if you’re curious about our own Web 2.0 recommendations, check out our old posts here and here.
