Conferencing in Kansas and Beyond
Saturday, April 12th, 2008I flew back to Kansas City from DC on Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I got up and drove 3 hours to Wichita to present at the Kansas Library Association’s annual conference. Erin Downey Howerton, Brenda Hough and I presented on using internet tools to network, to engage in conferences and community building beyond official [...]

Reference Twits
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Amy Kearns had an idea yesterday. I think it’s an interesting one. What do you think of some sort of WORLDWIDE, 24/7, 365, volunteer, independent TWITBRARIAN or something like that (name can be something else)? What I mean is – what I’m thinking is we are all on Twitter all (much) of the time. I [...]

Birthday Wishes
Monday, December 24th, 2007Today is my birthday. I’ve gotten used to having a birthday the day before Christmas. In fact, I rather enjoy it. But one thing that’s always been something of a drag is how cut-off from my friends I generally feel. I’ve never had a birthday party with friends on my actual birthday. My family has [...]

Faraway, So Close!
Friday, November 23rd, 2007In my previous post, I said, I need face-to-face interaction and conversation. I need spontaneous gatherings. I need occurrences of random escapades and shenanigans. I can get some of that online (the LSW Meebo room is great for that), but nothing really replaces in-person socialization. Some people may see that as saying I think social [...]

Sharing What We Know
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007My gosh, I sure do love LibraryThing! Today they added a new feature, Common Knowledge, which adds more social cataloging mojo to the site. I think it’s the start of more tasty exploration and collaboration, and I’m excited to see how it develops. Tim Spalding’s blog post about it gives better, more detailed information about [...]

Facing Facebook
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007My fellow carping nerdboy Steve Lawson has an excellent post about Facebook. I highly recommend reading it. In my own short time on Facebook, I’ve found that there’s a lot I dig, but it does have a definite “gated community” vibe.

Salt of the Earth
Monday, June 25th, 2007Don’t anyone dare call me an “early adopter,” because last night, I signed myself up on Facebook for the first time. I joined up mostly because some of my coworkers are on there, and I was inspired by Michael Porter‘s Social Software Showcase presentation. I also liked Facebook’s clean, basic look, and thought it made [...]

Meebo Jobbo
Friday, June 15th, 2007I got an interesting email the other day from Ted Lee. Ted works for Meebo and wanted me to pass along a job posting. Meebo is looking for Customer Support Manager, and they think someone with reference librarian experience would be good for the position. I have no idea what Meebo is like to work [...]

In the Clubhouse
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007As Walt blogged about, the Library Society of the World Meebo room got attacked by guerrila spambots on Thursday afternoon. I was at work and had a meeting to go to, so there wasn’t much I could do about it. I quickly posted on the Meebo forums, then suggested to the people in the chat [...]
