thanks for the examples Jenny. This is so exciting and reminds me of my library school experience of creating a mock up of a web page (on index cards!! in 1994. we could imagine how this would work, but had no real idea of how it would evolve. looking forward to this stage of the revolution!

This is blowing me away! I can’t really put my head around it, and I guess that’s the point; this is just the beginning, no? Technology won’t solve all of our problems, but these tools are going to prove immensely useful for so many purposes. I really appreciate you posting this!
