Hi Everyone,

O'Reilly Media just published an article I wrote about the Language Dialer - you can read it here:

I think SLA is a great context for user-generated networks.  Students can provide content in their native languages for everyone 
else.  If enough people from a variety of backgrounds are involved, a whole host of languages and dialects can be stored for 
language lab type exercises.  That's what the LD is all about in a nutshell.

I'm in the NYC area looking for work in E-Learning and/or software development.  If anyone has any suggestions for opportunities 
in this field, please email me off list.

Thanks very much for your time.
