	2 things I know for librarians: 1) your library wants to participate in #ndg10 (http://bit.ly/ngd10reg). TRUST ME about future news. [shifted]
	2) personally, you want to "like" ALA Graphics on Facebook (http://ow.ly/2FzBX). something awesome this way will come. [shifted]
	Shared Sweet Potato Gratin With Coconut Milk and Chipotle Chile \| Care2 Healthy & Green Living. "To my delight, I found this recipe from Experience Life. I love that it asks for coconut milk rather than heavy cream, making it healthy and vegan! And that it asks for chipotleâ€“combining sweet and spicy is always a great idea to me!"

	Testing sharing a highlight from a pdf for @hiddenpeanuts http://amzn.com/k/2LM8ZC59IT9RX #Kindle [shifted]
	@HiddenPeanuts that’s a good heads up to me to include the title in my note when sharing. I hope more granular sharing options r forthcoming [shifted]
	Published How We Vote. Even though this was included in the September 9, 2010 Meeting Notes, I wanted to pull it out separately so that it’s easy to find and point to when new folks join the group or when we need to refer back to it. At the 9/9/10 meeting, we decided to use the "gradients of agreement" approach to move work forward. The spectrum of voting in this scale is: Endorse — Agree with some concerns — Abstain — Disagree but will go along — Block Â ALA Social Media Working Group read more

	Posted Dan: From Space: You ever manage to think of the right thing at the right time? Last night, my wife asked me to explain Foursquare in a way a non-techie friend of hers could understand. So I said "Twitter is what you’re doing, Foursquare is where you are, Facebook is who you’re with, and Yelp is where you’ve been.".
	Posted JuSt a bug: From this discussion (http://friendfeed.com/lsw/5fe9529e/i-m-wondering-about-something-people-say-al) comes this question: What non-nationally prominent librarians do you pay attention to? This could be reading blogs (links would be grand), specific articles, etc. Please share..
	Shared 3 photos. I can now tweet highlights and share them on Facebook we have a thai basil plant as big as a miniature christmas tree booting up the Kindle 3

	Shared The Rodeo Librarian: I know heated discussions make people uncomfortable. They’re not necessarily bad things – sometimes they’re just a sign that people care passionately about an issue. Or sometimes they’re a result of misinterpretations of intent. And sometimes it’s because some people are just assholes. At any rate, it’s all going to be okay!.
