Conversation Prism--Social Media Visual Aid tying the messages & products, the people, and the tools together
Just came across this beautiful visual aid that I absolutely had to share. Brian Solis and Jesse Thomas have done an excellent job on this graphic outlining how various groups communicate and collaborate using many of the vast social media technologies out there in cyberspace. Check it out at theconversationprism.com.

"Workshopping" at the 2010 SUNYLA Conference
It’s always interesting to see how your conference presentations will be received. You spend so much time preparing, wondering if your work is innovative enough to keep an audience's attention, and anticipating what could (and probably will) go wrong—especially when it comes to the technology side of things.
Yesterday, a fellow librarian and I had the opportunity to run a three hour pre-conference workshop on developing a communication strategy for your library using social media. This was a first for me, moving outside of the typical 1 hour presentation or panel discussion. Our presentation was completely in the clouds, so we were very nervous about losing wifi connections. I must say, the experience was much less painful than I thought it would be. I attribute this to small class size, a forgiving audience, and great internet connectivity. For a first try it went incredibly well; this supported by all positive comments on our post-assessment. To top it off, we were invited to take the show on the road and present it again at one of the larger research centers within the SUNY system. The good news? Outside of a few tweaks, we are already prepared!

Meet iPad's competition: WePad
Judging from the fact sheet, German company Neophonie's WePad is set to give the Apple iPad some competition. What will it have that the iPad (for now) does not? Android apps, SD card, flash, USB ports, expandable memory and a webcam.
Aesthetically, it looks like a beauty too.
For more photos and info, check out the Facebook WePad Fanpage.

Netbook vs iPad
Aesthetically, my vote is for the iPad hands down--it's beautiful!
Eee PC-Blog provides a pretty good overview of the iPad vs Netbook discussion with its Spec by Spec Breakdown of the two machines. The winner depends on what users intend to do with the tool. In a nutshell, the iPad is great for consuming content, but the lack of a built-in keyboard might make creating content tricky.
For a more objective view of content creation on the iPad check out this post from Ben Parr, veteran blogger and co-editor for Mashable.com.

Social software has become ubiquitous when surfing through web content. Nowadays, most folks want to share the cool stuff they find with friends right away. One tool that I have fallen in love with is the Share This Firefox extension. One click lets you email it to a friend or share it with the world via your favorite social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more! Check out this extension at http://ping.fm/SLRGE
