Talk given today at the #nfais meeting as part of a panel with James Ingram and Mackenzie Smith. Clay Shirky gave the keynote, hence the "filter failure" riff. Some twitter coverage at the hashtag from @TAC_NISO and @meyercarol and some blog coverage at http://www.web2learning.net/archive...

appears to be a problem at slideshare but am giving re-uploading it a shot...its not critical so I guess I can just cut the image background if that doesn't work...ok seems ok now.
- Cameron Neylon
I am very happy that slide 8 is an Amiga. That was my second computer (after ZX Spectrum+3). I would be even more happy if I knew that you deliberately chose a picture of an Amiga rather than searching for "obsolete computer" on Flickr and choosing the first picture that you found.
- Matt Leifer
Absolutely Matt, we had an Amiga at home so I was very definitely looking for a picture of one. The added bonus was that the printer in that picture is the same or very similar to the one we had as well! Many happy memories of playing with the Amiga. We didn't have a hard disk though - although the guy down the street did. He's now a product engineer with Google which just goes to show that if you start with more storage, you end with more storage...

Björnm if you want Keynote/ppt just give me a yell. They get too big for me to upload to slideshare...
- Cameron Neylon
Thanks Cameron, I will. I'm sure the next opportunity isn't far away :-)
- Björn Brembs
Good one, right, also filtering is work, just a different kind of work.

BTW, it just reminded me about the the recent comment of Rajarshi, even if you would have shorter articles to read, would you not just read more of them? Same for news items, microblogs, etc http://ff.im/gvpli

Didn't recognize that Amiga - don't think I've ever seen a 500 (in person). I had a 1000 and a 2000 (model A). I actually followed a full Commodore path - using (but not owning) both models of PET, followed by owning VIC-20, C64, C128, A1000, A2000.

‡biblios.net is a free, hosted version of the open-source ‡biblios metadata editor that we released in 2008. In addition to the editor, ‡biblios.net includes some extended community features such as integrated real-time chat, forums, and private messaging. ‡biblios.net also provides access to the world's largest database of freely-licensed library records. The database will be freely available to ‡biblios.net subscribers and non-subscribers alike via Z39.50, OAI, and direct download. Furthermore, the database itself will be maintained by ‡biblios.net users similar to the way that Wikipedia's database is maintained by users. We're now looking for enthusiastic participants to help shape the final production release of ‡biblios.net.
