WikiREADia

I ran across this in one of my favorite blogs to read…..Librarian in Black.

WikiREADia - a wiki devoted to Reading! Not to books, not to authors, but to the art and the act of reading – how to celebrate reading, how to promote reading, etc. A website of good practices, resources, inspiration for anyone who works to support reading.

The wiki was created in the UK as part of their 2008 National Year of Reading, so some of the info is UK-specific, but just digging into a couple of the different areas, it looks like a great resource. And perhaps a great place for us to share our experiences as a Reading Organization – what we do, how we do it, as well. More to follow as I explore the site, but I’d love to hear from others what they think of it!

Gicks on Flickr

Cute, eh……so far, that’s whats there on my Flickr account - just a few family photos.

I forgot that I actually had a Flickr account already, so this Thing was pretty easy! At home, I use Flock as a web browser, which pretty much prompts you to create accounts in all sorts of web 2.0, social networking applications – some of which I set up when I started using Flock and have forgotten about – like Flickr! I usually use Picasa for my photos, and you can use that app to share online as well, which made accessing a few photos from work to add to my Flickr account pretty easy!

I’m becoming one of those hyperconnected people you read about. And I’m loving it!
