I was really hoping to have comments back up and running before asking this, but since I'm not sure when that will be, here goes. I get to buy a new laptop, so I'm deciding between a regular Windows-based one (you can pitch me on a brand), an Apple PowerBook, or a Tablet PC. I'm intrigued by the PowerBook and the Tablet, but the cost might be too high. Still, both would help me do new and wonderful things in new and wonderful ways, so I'm soliciting advice. Email or IM (cybrarygal on AIM) me!

Okay, that's not really saying much because librarians really haven't had any conference blogs until now, but I'm still impressed by what Information Today is doing with their InfoToday Blog - Live from London II.

I'd still like to see comments and blog posts by presenters & participants, but it's a hell of a start. Plus, they've got an RSS feed.

In keeping with my new theme, which I really am going to write up soon, note how the pictures and the commentary give you a better sense of the day-to-day conference than a one-page write-up in a print magazine. Voice. Personality. Tone. That's what blogging can do for your library.

Teri sent a great find: Golden Rule Jones, "literary events and topics, with a Chicago angle". Accompanying RSS feed.
