Howard Rheingold (who did a talk for me in Toronto in the early 90′son virtual communities) talked about the “Social media classroom“, now under development, that will allow students to switch from blogs to forms to wikis to chat to microblogs fluidly.  For more coverage of Howard’s talk see Don Hawkins piece and Jaap van de Geer’s conducted a brief interview with Rheingold.

Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land , casual and funny as ever, had lots of information which was covered well by Paula Hane. I loved his term “Killerettes” to describe the smaller apps that nibbles at the Google gorilla.  Check out my post on the Infotoday blog.  Lots of conference converage there from Information Today editors and links to many other conference bloggers.  You can get a great feeling for what’s happening here at IL2008! ]]> Great workshops on the weekend here in Monterey CA — I can tell by all the enthusiasm and buzz and the ideas that are flying around.  The first two keynote speakers have sparked some great discussions already.
