2006/02/09 Proposed Agenda
ø
- Introductions
- What is a weblog?
- What counts as a weblog?
- How has our perception of blogging changed after we’ve started blogging and as blogging has grown and become more popular?
- What is our group’s name and mission?
- Erica wonders about ‘officially’ expanding our name and mission to include more technology tools instead of having a primary focus on blogs. It seems like we talk about all sorts of geeky stuff anyway. What do you think?
- How did Bill’s SLA-Boston Chapter talk go?
- What was Rebecca’s talk on Wednesday to the Digital Media in Asia Project like?
- Well wishes for Michael as he prepares for surgery
- Pick restaurant for next week’s post-meeting dinner since it’s the monthly meetup and they need the restaurant in advance.
