Thing #1

So Thing #1 on the agenda is to "read the blog and find out about the program".
I was first introduced to this program in February 2008 through a Public Library class I took for my MLS. The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County had a very similar initiative to promote knowledge of Web 2.0 among library staff, and my class spent a few class sessions discussing the various technologies. (I liked the podcasts available on PMCMC's blog!) From a library science student standpoint, I enjoyed being introduced to 23 Things; I feel it is a solid way to introduce Web 2.0 technologies in an easy, non-threatening way for students, library professionals, and even patrons wanting to learn more about online Web applications.
