Brian Kelly at Sussex

I’m rather behind with my blogging, which runs against the spirit of the medium I'm afraid, but since I found it so interesting, I offer here my appreciation of a talk given last week at the University of Sussex by Brian Kelly of the UK Office for Library Networking. His overheads are on the web, so it would be futile to repeat them, and he covered a lot of ground, including use of SMS, the convergence of mobile/handheld technologies but he made me realise the potential of FOAF for more or less the first time, as well as instant messaging. I’ve signed up to several IM services, but as nobody I know uses them, so there never seemed to me to be much much point. Most interesting too, were his suggestions about integrating RSS feeds into electronic leaning environments.
