SocialMediaPolitik. Sm-metrics. 17 Resources. Part of the Cool Sites series With so many wonderful online tools I tend to create a lot of online content. I bet you do, too! Let’s see…there are tweets, forum posts, blogs, pictures, videos, glogsters, wallwishers, wikis and more. The problem is that with all this wonderful content we often do not have backups in case these sites force us to relocate like what happened with Geocities and now Ning.

They were freshmen at North Carolina A. & T., a black college a mile or so away. “I’d like a cup of coffee, please,” one of the four, Ezell Blair, said to the waitress. “We don’t serve Negroes here,” she replied. The Woolworth’s lunch counter was a long L-shaped bar that could seat sixty-six people, with a standup snack bar at one end.
