How You Look Is Part of the Story
Posted by: greebie on: June 30, 2009
Inspired by Joel Kelly’s first experiment with Videoblogging, I grabbed a flip and made my first attempt at video blogging. In the aftermath, Joel noticed that people wanted to talk about his vacation beard more than what he was actually saying.
On the whole, the advantage to video is that you have appearance and sound to [...]
Print Media in the Toilet
Posted by: greebie on: April 15, 2009
Today’s local paper had a toilet bowl on the cover. A toilet bowl. Yes, I know the article was about how the new Sewage Treatment plant in Halifax is done broke and won’t be fixed for a while. But guess what? We didn’t have a Sewage Treatment plant attached to the [...]
On D250, Voting, Vote Promotion and Collective Wisdom
Posted by: greebie on: October 20, 2008
With the dismal numbers (59.1%) coming out on this year’s federal election compared with previous years, and with the even lower turn-out for the Halifax Regional Municipality with online voting to boot, it is no wonder that people are calling vote promotion venues like D250 to task. Dal News is one of these, and I [...]
Mark Your Calendars: Halifax Podcamp 2009 on January 25th
Posted by: greebie on: October 14, 2008
I am very pleased to announce that, along with some great players (namely Craig and Jon), Halifax is going to have a podcamp on January 25th. The even more interesting news (for librarydom) is that it will be hosted at the Alderney Gate Library with support from MPOW.
So. . . you might have some questions? [...]
Three Briefs About Your Web Presence
Posted by: greebie on: July 26, 2008
I had three brief things come to mind, neither of which really need a whole post to describe. I’ve been thinking what works for a web presence in a Microblog world, and what real competitive advantages & disadvantages websites have over other media.
Are You Ready for Your Blog?
One of the things that is overstated about [...]
Halifax Rentals Go Viral
Posted by: greebie on: July 23, 2008
UPDATE: I HAZ Embed Code now!
Killam Properties (the people who run Quinpool Tower) team up with Picnic Face ( the people behind the PowerThirst Video ) to bring you Landlord Lou, the only sane presence in a world full of murderous property thugs, annoying roomates and er, WTH? a dancing [...]
CHLA Presentation and Why I Am Adding Twitter to My Tutorial
Posted by: greebie on: May 23, 2008
On Tuesday, May 27th I will be hosting a CE accredited workshop on Web 2.0 for the Canadian Health Libraries Association conference. I am very excited, and the agenda is pretty much set in stone.
One of the things I have been struggling with is whether I should bother to explain Twitter in any depth. I [...]
Navigating Online Cultures
Posted by: greebie on: April 28, 2008
I’ve had a tongue-in-cheek post-in-waiting for a while now that would look at traits I notice in online cultures as a way of understanding whether or not a particular service is for you or your library. It had been percolating, percolating, percolating. . . and then I read Greg Schwartz’s post on Managing His Own Social [...]
Chiming in On the Biggies
Posted by: greebie on: April 1, 2008
There have been a few, ahem, debates going around and I could make a post on each of them, but things have just been too much in my home life recently, so I’m going to chime in one on one.
MLS or non-MLS?
My favorite call on this issue is coming from Dorothea Salo, but there [...]
