Social Media in Plain English

I know this is somewhat out of order (unless you consider all Web 2.0 stuff to be "social media") - Common Craft has released another great explanatory video.

Grassroots Flickr Project

The 365 Library Days Project, is a grassroots community project on Flickr where libraries around the world are posting 365 photos in 365 days. Jennifer brought this to my attention because she sees it as an "interesting (free) way to raise our profile online, and directly support the whole Library 2.0 / Web 2.0 thing. " I think she has a point. As we move forward into the the hands on training sessions, perhaps we could use this as a project. If not, we may use this as a project for teens during OST. Take a look at what some libraries have posted.

Even non-librarians are impressed by Helene!

Wired published this article about PLCMC's Helene Blowers and now I'm really excited about the possibility of getting her down here for our kickoff! Plus her blog is very cool.
