How’s this for a social learning community application? In addition to the web-based learning tools you are encouraged to interact with other members to learn a new language. Talk to others in your ‘class’ — but even better link up with native speakers trying to learn your language. Virtual language immersion. Maybe a trip to Paris is a little more exotic (I picked french) but not quite as convenient.
Garrett Dimon has posted a presentation on the design process for a new issue tracking software. Its terrific with some great insights and ideas. It also makes me eager to see the finished product.
New York Times today (2-14) business section reports only 36 percent of businesses with under 100 employees have websites. I bet they all use e-mail. It’s not that big a leap from that to a site built in Wordpress - not just blogging software but a true content publishing system.

I’ve been looking for an issue tracker for our department, and there’s a lot of crap out there. I’ve been running a trial of webAsyst for the last week and it look promising. But somehow what Garrett is working on looks so clean, simple and well thought out, it seems like exactly what I’m looking for. Hopefully he’ll have something released soon!
