Thurs 5/25/06, 3-5pm: Technologies for Libraries and Communities: Calendars and Events

For calendar details see this page on upcoming.org: Technologies for Libraries and Communities: Calendars and Events. There is an iCal calendar for this event series:

Community Information Corps organizer Edward Vielmetti will lead a discussion on event and calendar technologies with applications in library and community information settings. We'll look at some internet standards work in this area, examine key features of calendar applications, and talk about Web 2.0 calendar tools including Google Calendar, Podbop, and upcoming.org. This is also an organizing meeting of an informal summer series on technologies for libraries and community being organized with MSI students Carl Collins and Jake Glenn.

The event is located in the connector conference room at the U of Michigan School of Information, 3d floor, in the hallway that connects West Hall to the Shapiro Library (UGLI).

Social Networking - Just Got Better!
Yesterday I discovered what I had been searching for in article in the Baltimore Business Journal!
http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/
I had attended the Syndicate conference in NY looking for it. http://www.syndicateconference.com I had thought that the Google calendar or the Yahoo calendar, both of which I use would do it. Both Yahoo & Google came close, but close only counts in horseshoes. The genius for a great social networking site is Clarence Wooten of CollectiveX. com.

It does everything any group needs to commuicate
and stay abreast of events. The great thing I like is that
it is ORGANIC! IT GROWS! Your list of contacts or other groups can exchange information, discuss projects and so much more! I just created site for my church and already I've told 4 people about using it for their ministries or groups! I must admit that the founder and president Clarence Wooten , is the nephew of my best childhood friend, whose family I've known for many, many years.
