Keeping track of CIL2008
Sat 15 Mar 2008, 5:49 pm
With Computers in Libraries coming up in just a few weeks, I have started to think about keeping track of all the online activity relating to the conference: blog posts, Flickr photos, slides, Twitter comments, and so on. There is the official wiki which has a lot of information by and for conference attendees, but I’m thinking of how to keep up with the conference as it happens, regardless of where you are.
In the past, I posted a bunch of links and an OPML file for conference-related feeds. This year, I thought I’d do something a bit different. I created a public Netvibes page page with the feeds that seemed relevant. Most of them don’t have very much yet, but should become pretty active during the conference. If it looks useful, it’ll be there for you. If I missed a feed that you think should be there, let me know.

When I go there, the weather widget shows the next four days in Paris, which is sure to make me wish I’m somewhere other than DC.

Too weird. It showed Arlington VA for me, even when not logged in. Then I cleared cookies and cache and it went to Paris. I changed it again while logged in, but it is still having the same problem. I guess I’ll 86 the weather, since that isn’t the main point of the page. Thanks!

Public Netvibes page doing much to overcome my feeling down that schedule conflict would not let me attend CIL2008. Thanks

Very handy, especially as it’s looking unlikely I’m going to Internet Librarian this year.
