Thanks Jane!

We are positioning ourselves as a true Web 2.0 Learning tool and will be fully integrated with Google Apps Education Edition as well as Twitter. Along with our Facebook Application (Class Connector) this gives us a strong presence in many Web 2.0 arenas and makes our appeal as an academic application unprecedented to the internet generation.

We are currently getting ready for a big fall 2009 user acquisition push with a few application enhancements. These enhancements include further integration with Google Apps, a longitudinal learning system that can be integrated with LDS at the county or state level, as well as a top secret M-Learning application integrated with Twitter.
