Sharing Charlotte

Some important access points for those who were and weren't there:
Donna Baumbach's (Free) Virtual AASL, functions as a wonderful aggregator of a variety of feeds (and memories)! You'll find an archive of the Twitter feeds here. And you can continue to access Conference content on the bThere site for the next year.

A few of my favorite presentations are listed in this SlideShare playlist widget. It's not to late to grow this widget. If you presented in Charlotte, you can add your presentation to our playlist by uploading to SlideShare and tagging aasl2009.)

Eeeek! Spammers! I am so sorry!

Hi friends,
(Update: I am now approving membership. If you plan to join, please identify yourself as a legitimate member of the library or related field in your profile.)
Over the past week or so, our network has been hit by spammers. I have blocked several and wrote to the Ning people about others. This is happening on the other Nings too. Please hang on while I work through the problem. I am very sorry.
