 I am using Gaggle for the first time this year.  I used Hotmail last year
and it was a nightmare!  Too much spamming.  A lot of students received
X-rated sites sent to their hotmail address.  So far, I love Gaggle.  There
are a few things that Gaggle says they are working on changing such as no
hypertext is available.  I love the control I have over its use by my
students.  We have blocked quite a few words and a few sites.  As a matter
of fact, I am spending quite a bit of time during my time off this week
checking their accounts to see what they are writing.  I don't like eaves
dropping but seeing as it is my responsibility to see that it is used
correctly, I feel it is necessary.
