How Pervasive is Your Web?

Recently I have come to appreciate the ways that technology has allowed me to come in contact with writers and conference speakers, teacher and leaders that I would otherwise never "know". For instance today I listened to an extremely engaging fifty minute free lecture by Thomas Friedman (The World is Flat) on Academic Earth. Through ten or 15 RSS feeds I am able to network to so many fascinating new avenues of knowledge that challenge and enlighten me as well as cause me discomfort and lead to eventual change. The stretching tentacles of my PLN is what I am appreciating most about technology right now.
