David King has remixed Scott’s rap from the Dead Tech session at CIL2005 and I’ve already loaded it on my iPod Shuffle! http://daweed.blogspot.com/2005/03/remixed-information-rap.html Don’t miss this one… maybe Greg can get Scott to do an unplugged version on Open Stacks!

Good stuff here: http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/schwagbag/archives/2005/03/im.html So here are some of the pros and cons (for our particular situation), and my general questions . . . Pros it’s saves several thousands of dollars a year ? it’s free! it works ? bonus! no messy setup or clunky interfaces; uses a medium that many/most students are already familiar with ability to create customized ‘queues’ per subject or librarian for things like subject pages (simply create an appropriate and different screen name for that purpose), which with VR software can cost around $3000 per librarian it’s ‘disposable’: one thing that really bothers me about […]
Thanks to Robin!!! http://360.yahoo.com/tametheweb So I set “My Page” up real quick and will return to mess with the features soon. Right now I use flickr, Audio Scrobbler, etc… will these sites or sites like them be absorbed into virtual community clearinghouse. Is Yahoo! 360′ the next stop for Flickr? (I think it will be – “Share Photos” was all over in 360′)
Anyone joined Yahoo! 360′? I’m intrigued by yet another virtual community being offered for folks. If you are in and have an invite, I’d be grateful!

Even as I post this, David King, Chad and Blake and I are co-browsing the Web! We all downloaded and installed JYBE and joined the same session. Suddenly, we were watching as David took us around the KCPL site! There is a built in chat room at the bottom of the page! We were chatting within the browser! WOWZA! Thanks to the fellow who posed the question to Aaron and I at our CIL IM presentation: “Have you tried Jybe?” And thanks to Chris Jowaisis who told me about it when it launched in January. Think of the implications for […]
