Invitation to Join The Librarian Fit Club

Keith Engwall writes “I’ve got two objectives:

1) Using a variety of social networking and collaborative tools, build a web presence that would allow librarians to experiment with these types of tools in a functional environment.
2) Maybe lose a few pounds (hey, it’s motivation for objective #1).

Here’s the new Flickr website .I’d really welcome some collaboration in building this thing.”

Obviously, just using random tools would not make for a very functional environment. Thus far, I’m thinking the tools that would be useful for this experiment:

Basecamp: For planning, setting goals, marking progress, etc.
A hosted Wiki: For storing ideas, fitness routines, recipes, etc.
A group blog: For celebrating, venting, and sharing, and documenting the thing.
Flickr: For the brave of heart (grin). …anything else anyone thinks would be useful for both objectives…

Thus far, I’ve created a basecamp group that requires an admin to create and add people to the site and an operative flickr group. I’m looking into Wikis and Blogs, but I’d really welcome some collaboration in building this thing.”
