Meetings meetings meetings.. Discussion and ideas for wordpress for the libs blog (already use it; looking to expand it). I’m working on my own domain at the moment. I’m so glad that I have my own webspace, it makes design, templating and well… experimenting much easier.

A few of us at twitter (thanks @ashuping) were having a discussion about images & creative commons which expanded to microblogging. A few months ago I read a really interesting post arguing that if you post an image through twitter it is essentially public and free to be used by anybody (or at least that is how I read the article).

A twitter post (@sabram @eranium) a few weeks ago posited this question:CFO asks CEO “What happens if we invest in developing our people & then they leave us?” CEO: ‘What happens if we don’t, and they stay?” Interesting thought, isn’t it? For many of us, we have staff who work for us, take advantage of training (either that we offer as on the job training) ...
