three things to do:
evolve - checking out laptops, camcorders, etc… welcoming buildings
let go of control - no cell phone signs as examples
be visible online
plan with your users
engage your users
- catalog search box in facebook
- comments in catalog
adopt a 2.0 philosophy
- throw out the culture of perfect
- learn from the gamers (it’s ok to make mistakes)
- discover, play and experience these new tools
Second Life reference desk - 200 questions a week
