Another NPR article; this one about writers turning to comics:

Three writers are drawn by the allure of comics

My favorite mash-up: technology and books

Article from NPR: Web Sites Let Bibliophiles Share Books Virtually

Mighty Quiz is an online quiz with user-generated questions.  Sign up is free and the site utilizes several of the web 2.0 conventions we’ve come to know and love.  Earn points for creating questions as well as your score from answering others’ questions.

I can see here a neat little alternative student assesment tool where you  have them all create questions from your topic of study (they could print the screen before submitting the question) and then answer each others’ questions (although I’m not certain how well that can actually be done; isolating those questions, that is) .  I don’t see how you might consolidate certain questions into one quiz.  It appears the questions are all lumped together.  You can search for certain tags and it then seems to give you questions based on that tag.  What you might do is have students add a specific tag to their question.

I also discovered playing is quickly addictive.
