Walking Paper

Michael and I are presenting some ideas about the Library Blogosphere at the Online Social Networks conference over the next two weeks.

There are many topics that you’re likely to be interested in, and if you’re not, you maybe should be. For instance, the Library blogosphere is all abuzz about folksonomies:

Librarians have experimented with wikis, but we should be learning more about them and helping shape the way they grow

WIKIS: A new collaboration infrastructure for organizations

Also,

Audio Roundtable – Online Social Networks as a Nest for Communities of Practice

The format of the conference seems really forward. There are a combination of synchronous and asynchronous events, as well as a combination of web presentations, audio, chats, telecommunities and more!
