It's been a bit busy in the Reading Room lately so time has been in limited supply, however......
This is too weird- i'm checking out library science journals!!
I was checking out a BBC Blog about mobile video (further to a post i wrote about journos using their mobile phone to file video news events) and the writer linked to another Blogger who is big in the techie/blogosphere.
The guy is Robert Scoble who has worked for Microsoft, written a book (no we don't hold it but this is the results from a Libraries Australia search) about blogs for business and more. So i've signed up for RSS feeds from his blog and read a post where he mentioned Mahalo (which is thank you in Hawaiian) - so i then check out what that's all about.
Mahalo claims to be a "human powered search engine" with results only to great links. They have a browser extension whereby you can have Google and Mahalo results side-by-side for your comparison- hmmm, tempted. It will be interesting to see if this search engine will catch on. If nothing else they promise less spam.
See how easy it is to go off on tangents?
The whole time i was looking for a video blog that i saw the other day but can't remember where i saw it.
The Beijing Olympics Blog project has been going along slowly, I think we will reach a crossroads shortly- it's hard to say which way it will go.
I haven't made a podcast/audio instructions on how to request a book yet but it's on my mind.
And to finish off with a visual, here's a clip about the announcement of the 3G iPhone, ya know, in case you didn't hear about it.

Great to hear from you again! You're right about the Library Journal stuff ... blogging is definitely here to stay (at least til the next shinier thing takes it's place). It's really no wonder that 'push-button publishing' appeals so much to librarians after all it's a short step from print and other online publishing.
