Elgg as a social network is helping redefine old literacies. Do you see these literacies as empowering or just as skills we need to have? I have a post on new literacies http://education-realitycheck.blogspot.com/2008/09/change-change-change.html just off to add folksonomie and personal learning network management to the list.

More a relational, communicative clue about what these technologies can and cannot do and how and why we should use them. Personally, I hope they take us along a path of more collaborative and community learning. This is their true power.

One cannot assume that they are "instinctive" and that learners will pick them up - these literacies and how to use and interpret them must be taught explicitly.
