Feel like flexing some bloggy muscles? Been resisting all things del.cio.us? How about joining some other librarians as they learn about Library 2.0 tools AND get fit at the same time?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a>
\nKeith Engwall who is a librarian in Salisbury, North Carolina is inviting other librarians to join him in a project to use new web tools to work toward a common goal of shifting a few pounds.<\/p>\n

So far he has set up a basecamp group<\/a><\/span><\/span>, which requires an admin to add you, <\/span><\/span>and a flickr group<\/a> , which is open. He’d like some more people to weigh in with setting up a bog and a wiki.<\/p>\n

A potential participant suggested using the 43 things<\/a> website to track our goals. The joint goal is be a more fit librarian<\/a>. It’s been a while since I looked at the site, so I went back for another look tonight.<\/p>\n

I’d seen it before I delved into Library 2.0, but not joined in. Funny, but I am so much less reserved about giving out a few personal details and jumping straight into a social web site. I remember thinking “hmm interesting”, and looking at who was from my home town, but not really thinking that I might participate.<\/p>\n

Tonight I was joined up in the first minute and after half an hour or so of playing, I have a list of 8 things that I have done, all flagged as “worth doing” by me. I have 6 things I want to do.<\/p>\n

What have I done?<\/span>
