Potentially Overwhelmed in 50 Minutes

Did you catch the SirsiDynix Institute Web Seminar on November 14, 2006, by Stephen Abram?

If you are on extensive note taker, you better listen to Stephen Abram with a group of colleagues, because you will never keep pace. He is not a PowerPoint slide reader and will give you plenty of real world examples. I love his presentation delivery as you will never leave the edge of your seat. I am a true multitasker, especially during meetings or conferences. Abram is one person that keeps you engaged, and he is one of a few people that keeps me from reading one of my hundred RSS feeds or other tasks when he is presenting.

Stephen Abram, Vice President Innovations at SirsiDynix, covered 25 technologies in 50 minutes (see slides). You should also see his related blog posts were he listed weblinks to all the technologies he mentioned and provided a link to a Best of the Best Web 2.0 Sites page.

If you have never had a chance to hear Stephen speak, it is well worth your time. He always is on top of the current status and the potential future of technology and libraries. He usually has at least one "watch for this" or surprise up his sleeve. For example, he mentioned that Dell was holding their first virtual press conference from within Second Life, before their traditional press conference. That is way cool! It follows the lead of Reuters who set up an office in Second Life.
