Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website, not unlike your browser’s very own bookmarks menu. But better. Much better. Not only can you store your favourite links (and access them from anywhere), but the site allows you to share them with others, and discover new and interesting things through others’ links.

1. Tracing Shadows – New York Times 

    

   A Brooklyn artist takes street art to a whole new (and legal) level: “I think that public art is important…It expresses what people are feeling in a society at the time, and it puts it out there. It’s not like a museum, where things are hidden away for 20 years.”

2. BBC NEWS | Education | Overseas students ‘buying essays’ 

    

   I wasn’t sure how to feel about this when I read it. Plagiarism is definitely a serious issue that should be addressed and dealt with. There are a lot of factors to this problem, but my fear is that people are over-generalizing and discriminating against international student, even more than they already are. Some of the comments to this article were pretty low.
