	thinking my part of 2:50pm "Engagement to ROI" talk = good continuation of "Not Your Parent’s Club." I’ll cover engagement/niches #diginow [shifted]
	brilliant – @AALASnational is in WhyVille to keep middle-high school kids engaged with science; could libraries do something similar? [shifted]
	@DanScheeler we go for less than 130 characters; depends on your twitter name; for conferences, also have to consider hashtag #diginow [shifted]
