I just sent an email to my library directors explaining to them why they and their staff need to keep up with emerging technologies. I wish I'd seen this post before I sent out the email. Great post.

Great points made here and I love your final manifesto too. I've linked to this from a wiki for a school librarian training project I'm working on. (http://lib20.pbwiki.com/techcamp-home) And will make good use of this in a presentation later this week. Thanks! Kathryn, Thanks for this terrific post!

I've seen some people coming to my blog from your wiki. Jo-Anne. 25 participant blogs in your learning journey is fantastic. I'm in the middle of adapting a 23 Things program for MPOW - and I was fascinated to see that yours included Skype. Our campus IT doesn't like us using Skype on staff machines, otherwise, I think it would be great to include it. Thanks Sam. I’ve seen some people coming to my blog from your wiki.
