Agasp at awkward Mash hashtags, lads? Aah, that’s grand…
(With apologies to Christian Bök for the title.)
I’m going to the long-anticipated Mashed Library 2009 (“Mash Oop North“) tomorrow at the University of Huddersfield.
If you want to follow the action from afar, here’s what one of the organisers (guess who?!) has suggested in a post on the event blog:
If you’re wanting to keep track of what’s happening on the day, there’s a few things you can keep an eye on…
The hashtag for the event is #mashlib09 and you can keep track using Twitter Search or Twitterfall.
Ideas from the event
We’ll be encouraging delegates to publish their ideas under a CC Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licence and you’ll be able to see them all via this RSS feed.
Ian’s Text Wall
Ian McNaught, who works at Huddersfield Uni, has developed an experimental SMS Text Wall which we’ll be playing around with at the event. It currently works with Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Videos
We’re hoping to video all 6 of the opening sessions. Unfortunately we’re not able to stream them live but we’ll try and make them available to view online as quickly as possible. (If any delegates have experience of putting video online, please make yourself known on the day!)
There’s also the useful Mashed Library Ning site at: mashedlibrary.ning.com
I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow’s event, mainly because last year’s (the inaugural, held in London) was so interesting, and also because this year I’ve got the chance to talk about a couple of the mashup-inspired things I/we’ve got in the pipeline. Also because of this, and due in no small part to this.
I’ll be tweetin’ wi’ t’ best of ‘em on the day, and I promise a full writeup (plus slides from my two ‘lightning talks’) when I get back.
