Name Tags Are Conversation Starters
I happened to sit by Seth Horwitz, organizer of Philly Net Tuesday. As an Information Architect, I was happy to learn that Seth has a background in library and information science. We waxed poetic about name tags and how we liked ones that have personality and content. "Name Tags Are Metadata" Says Seth. Yes!
He pointed me to his blog post on name tags, and the tags people created at the IA Summit in Vancouver.
Maybe at next year's NetSquared conference...
ILoveMountains Maps Their Activist Meme
I'm at this morning's ilovemountains talk, which I've awaited ever since blogging about it as a brilliant online campaign. They just released a new map feature showing where and how their online campaign has spread.
Interesting Tidbits:
- Willie Nelson agreed to give them rights to use "Blowin in the Wind" after they passed a request to his bodyguard.
- They've superimposed the Transamerica building and the Golden Gate Bridge next to some of the removed mountaintops to show the scale of devastation.
