Internet Librarian here I come!

I’m leaving bright and early tomorrow for the Internet Librarian Conference in Monterey.  I’m really looking forward to it!   The sessions are already full of great information to bring back with me.  Plus I get to talk with so many amazing people from Libraryland, I’m always so revved up when I get back from these things. If you’re going to be there DM over at Twitter or send me an email.  Don’t forget I have several Akoha decks to hand out and my own deck of cards to play. If  you wont be able to be there, stay tuned, because I’ll be bloggin it!

Akoha Starter packs – I have 19 decks to give away!

Less than two weeks ago I blogged about an exciting new idea – Akoha.  I was enthusiastic about the idea, in fact I love it. I love the idea of doing good and passing it forward, call me optimistic, call me naive, but I think this idea has merit.  So I blogged about it, I was a little surprised when I was contacted, asking for my address so I’d have a pack of cards to hand out at my upcoming conference.  But I was astonished yesterday morning when I arrived at work to discover not a just a set for me, but 20 sets, 19 to hand out! Initially I stated – “If you’re wondering what this has to do with Libraries or the Social Web, my usual topics, the answer is nothing.” I was wrong. Oddly enough yesterday morning before I even got to work and discovered my cards, came across the Akoha Challenge and sent out a twitter message about it. So I’m changing my statement – If you’re wondering what this has to do with libraries or the Social Web the answer is everything!  Akoha is all about doing good, libraries are all about doing good.  Hey most

Akoha – Play it Forward

Akoha – Play it Forward

While browsing my FeedReader this morning I came across this post about Akoha.  Akoha is a game, not on your computer, or your Xbox, but a game with cards.  Cards that people hand to you and you hand to others that allow you to play good deeds forward.  When you get a card, you log on to the site and tell the story of how the card got to you, then you play it forward, passing the card to someone else. If you’re wondering what this has to do with Libraries or the Social Web, my usual topics, the answer is nothing.  This is an idea and a philopshy I am incredibly excited about.  The potential it represents is thrilling!  I’ve signed up for the Beta and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll get my cards before MLA, Internet Librairan and ICoLIS!
