Since I subscribe to the theory that there is nothing wrong with a little shameless self promotion, here is a little Monday morning.... shameless self promotion! *insert Kazoo sound*

The white paper for the Library-ETS Facebook hot team has hit the streets. Its a quick read, but it is chock full 'o good stuff, including the "7 Things You Need To Know About Facebook", some opportunities for future development, and delicious walnuts. A special thanks to Binky Lush, Emily Rimland, Brad Kozlek, and Yvonne Clark for all their efforts, both in writing the paper and on the hot team in general.

I don't think any of us really knew what sort of reception the Library Facebook app would receive when we started this process, but with more than 1,100 users currently, its fair to say that its usership has shattered my own expectations. Its been fantastic to work with such great people in such an exciting space. The development team will be getting together next week to start discussing version 2 of the app, and I don't think I would be remiss in using the word "giddy" to describe my excitement. Stay tuned for what should be some very cool additions in the near future =)
