Obligatory blog day post complete with related ramblings

4 comments | | email this post | posted by Michael C. Habib @ 8:14 PM

Apparently it is blog day. For this exercise, I have chosen to share six blogs that I think my readers might find interesting. Given that the majority of my readers are librarians, the first few are more tech oriented blogs that might be off their radar.
They are both also involved in OpenID, which is something librarians should be looking at as it would provide our users with a single logon. We should be pressuring both our vendors and universities to look into this. To find out more about OpenID, check out the summary I wrote of Fred's social software session and Chris's social browsing session here.

The next few blogs I wish to share are related to educational technology:
Okay now for two library blogs:

Hi Michael, thanks for rating me in your "blog day ramblings". Seems our ideas compliment each other well - you help me focus on 'blue-print' thinking - something I need to do in order to make the best connection with those that I am teaching or with my professional peers. I run another blog in blogger that has a different focus altogether - the balance is nice.

By the way, your work is great and an inspiration.

Mike and Judy,

Thanks a bunch. It means a lot to get feedback like this.

Mike,

I am checking out those blogs (and yours) as I type.

Thanks again,
Michael

Thanks for the mention Michael -- I'm happy that you find me useful for your readers!

Also awesome to see that you're proposing that librarians look to OpenID and microformats -- completely brilliant and necessary.

Chris,

Your quite welcome. Librarians think about single logons alot. It would be great to see universities or public libraries implementing OpenID. Given librarians' traditional concerns about privacy, I can't think of anyone (except Fred and Terrell of course) who I would rather trust to host my identity. Even with the Patiot Act, I know they aren't going to sell my data.

I still use my email address from undergraduate because it has been a constant part of my identity for my adult life. Were I able to keep my university webspace, that would be a handy URL for my OpenID compared to a commercial service (again claimid excluded).

This said, both Fred and you are much more eloquent and knowledgable about the value of OpenID and microformats, so I hope my readers take a look at what is being said on your blogs and by the identity community in general.

-Michael
