Closure
About two years ago, I started this project and blog. My aim was to find out what all this 2.0 talk was about, and try a 'learning 2.0 something' myself. The term 2.0 now has become mainstream and some of its features are here to stay. The site turned out to be a trivia site, and it was great fun building it the first year and growing it the second year. I've done it as a hobby, and now it is time to start other hobbies.
The site will stay.
But it won't change as much as it has in the last year. I never got around to make an API or other ways to integrate the quizzes in other sites. Maybe in the future, but I'm not promising anything. I also won't promote it with Google Ads anymore or create a lot of new quizzes myself, so it's up to the community now to keep it alive.
Here is the most recent quiz I made:
As for me, I'll start up a new hobby in 2009, under the umbrella of my 6C learning philosophy. I decided to write a book, called Homo Competens, about competent people in the information age. If that new hobby of mine interests you, please keep an eye on my new blog : homocompetens.blogspot.com.

Freerice: learning meets charity
Freerice.com is not just another site where you can solve questions. Apart from building a better English vocabulary by guessing the meaning of difficult words, you also donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations per correct answer. Learning meets charity. Nice initiative!In my first try at the site, I managed to donate 200 grains of rice. I'm not even sure that's enough for a sushi.
