    Learn Grammar with Movies

    Great little site MSTAGG with short clips from recent movies used to teach grammar points. This is definitely upper intermediate though, but he has gone through the material and done a good job of presenting examples. The clips are sometimes too long, but you can further filter them if you want to spend time preparing.

That is what I am doing here with the 100 Tools, in a way, building my own PLN.

    Netvibes is another site where you can put together content from many other web pages without knowing how to make a web page. It is really easy, and, like PageFlakes, has a web community that discusses what is available and what works.

    This is one of the most transparent web services I know. It was hard to find their logo, and when you set up a page for yourself, their content is only at the bottom of the page.
