No sooner than I speak and the Beijing Olympics Blog won't be happening. (Why?It's not that unusual, check here, #3, bullet point 3)That's life.
I've started reading this book called "Social Software in Libraries". I've got it on staff loan but luckily for you there is a companion website. (And authors Blog here) I strongly recommend that you check out the website if only for all the links- try this one for starters, RSS feeds for librarians.
More tips as I come across them; I'm happy to say that an RSS idea I suggested in a previous post has been in use by a few libraries overseas.
The Robert Scoble book I ordered has arrived- he encourages businesses to use blogs to show a human face and enable two-way communication or risk being left behind. He mentions a book called The Cluetrain Manifesto that started as a website whose view was that thru the internet people are talking about the way companies treat their customers. The conversation is happening not locally but globally, and big business mightn't like whats being said. Amazon review here.
That's two books on the go! I wish i could read faster or have more time to read.
