I’ve put together an idea for people who run conferences or events. It’s called OneTag (www.onetag.org). It’s very simple conceptually, although as I’m discovering, a complete *dog* to code… - the idea is that it aggregates all the “buzz” about a particular (live) event and then provides the means to view this in different ways. Find out more at http://www.onetag.org/ot/about.asp.

Web Designs for Interactive Learning (WDIL.org) is a free, community-driven source of information, resources, and inspiration for developers of educational Websites, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Exploratorium, and funded by the National Science Foundation. The Site has 3 main types of content, all contributed by peers and colleagues in the community. The Websites section presents descriptions, reviews, and case studies of educational Websites; the Resources section has links to articles and other online resources; and the Reusables section provides code snippets and other things that you can take and use in your own work.

Catherine Stiles blogged some concepts from her paper given at the Australian Historical Society in Canberra –– How Web 2.0 will change history - Possible futures for websites of the National Archives of Australia PDF on-line –– about implications of web 2.0 for museums, and ponders the requirement for radical trust of users. She's contrasted museum and library attitudes (citing lending as an example), and prompted responses from Jim Spadaccini and Bryan Kennedy among others. This brought me back to questions about institutional origins (that often influence attitudes) something i've been pondering in the context of "convergence" between libraries, archives and museums.
