Where was I?

Hours worked today 2.5 - worked on outline for the hour long presentation/class and caught up on goals with Curtis. Enter sites found and outline here:
Twitter (intro, display of library uses, images) - 15 minutes
Check-in based social media (brief overview, video, security issues)
Foursquare (intro, uses in marketing/incentives , uses in libraries, howcast video) - 15
GoWalla(intro, uses in libraries, trips and pick up items) - 15 mins
time to mess with the tech (make a twitter acct, check in with foursquare mobile)

Hours from ALA : 2 at the Social Media vs the search engine session :
Sadly, this session was not really helpful since half of the session involved an example of how to know your audience - specifically teens in high school and college, 30 minutes was focused on facebook being important to reach a younger audience and how twitter helped. The last 30 minutes was an unhelpful Q&A session. I really wish there was some talk about techniques that help social media beat out search engines.

Hours from last week: 1.5 from : 8 Bit Librarian and a GoWalla experiment (checked in at Tios, found item, picture of the SC State library map) , #inatweet meme

After two national conferences, one national holiday and some extra work hours, i'm finally back on the road to redemption (or well work of some sort...)

Total hours worked: 11
