Back-up Tweets, Ban Pubmedonline and Mobile Libraries : TweetSelection 11-2-2010

I am going to try and make an archive of a selection of myTweets. Many thanks to Karen Blakeman for twittinesis.com  and BackupMy Tweets. Thanks @ uamslibrary for following me! You're my no. 1200!  Advice: unfollow @pubmedonline, or don't even start. It's an adWords scam obviously  Today I will probably reach my 5000th tweet, for what it's worth. Time to back-up some of it. What's the best way to archive your Tweets?  Publish your tweets on your blog. Automatically. http://twittinesis.com/ (via @ karenblakeman )  @ karenblakeman This is what I like about (Twitter) communication.

WorldCat Mobile NL : iPhone app pilot

WorldCat is p iloting WorldCat Mobile in Netherlands at the moment.  To download the pilot you need to go to: www.worldcat.org/m/ .

They are looking for some genuine feedback (good or bad) on your experience of using it?  The kinds of questions they have: Did the app load easily? Was the response time OK? Was the interface user-friendly? Did you search and locate items in libraries that were near to you or did you find locations patchy? How would you rate the pilot and would you recommend it? Any additional thoughts/comments? Let's give them  lots of feedback to keep improving the experience.

Web 2.0 Lunch meeting AMC Library Team

The presentation is partly in Dutch, but it shows "The Order of Things" as they have developed themselves for me. Here's a small resume in English with some links. It all started with creation of a Library Toolbar , back in 2005, then dissecting that into functionality-chunks i.e. html searchboxes, rss-feeds, chatboxes. Here is a post about " 37 ways To Adjust Your Library Toolbar (or any Conduit Toolbar) " The need to control and manage those boxes widgets in Eco-Netvibes.com  and Widgetbox.com   Offering those widgets and RSS-feeds in Public Pages from Netvibes.com  as a sort of Take-Away service Distributing library services and content into Social and Virtual Networks was next:  Library Toolbox Browser Toolbar Student Browser Toolbar CMB Linkedin Group CMB Hyves CMB Fan Page CMB UMCG Group CMB on Twitter CMB on LibraryThing Digicmb on twitter Digicmb on Netvibe s Latest focus is on how to "control" the browser of the user, an...

I only use it for wifi-access .... My personal Samsung "died" in Portugal. My boss is waving around with her personal new iPhone and I keep feeding her with nice (medical) apps.  I am limited to a business phone subscription provided by KPN, and they don't deliver iPhones.

I do not JUST want an iPhone , I want to make a library application for the iPhone. The trend is "going mobile". Within the hospital I see more and more staff and students using iPhones or "simular" devices. Hospital policy is NOT to support any other but the standard issued devices. But with our conte...
