As promised, the slides from the four presentations I gave at three conferences in three cities in five days are up on my presentations wiki. What a whirlwind. (One of these days, maybe next month, I plan to start using SlideShare as a parallel way way to share my presentations, but that will have to wait for another day.)

What made this busy trip all worth it was the response from the audience and the folks who stopped me in the hallways to talk and chatted after my talks. Thank you to each and every one of you!

When I have more time, I want to write a little about what it's like to be involved in the association world. The DigitalNow Conference was interesting, especially seeing how others implement 2.0-ish communication tools with their audience, whether that is paid members or the general public. I was on a panel with Patricia Goldman from the March of Dimes and Randal Moss from the American Cancer Society, both of whom know their 2.0 stuff inside and out and are doing great things at their organizations. I look forward to keeping in touch with them and seeing what they do next. And a shoutout to Randy's Dad, with whom we had a great discussion about the public information and the importance of libraries.

Interestingly, the last year has seen ALA implement a lot of 2.0 "stuff" which in many ways, has put it at the front of the association world in this regard. Of course, I'm biased since I work for ALA, but my conversations with librarians and now association folks makes me believe we are headed in the right direction.
