Not really sure what live blogging is….but I’m blogging today for the IMA from Museums and the Web 2009 being held here in Indianapolis.  In a few minutes, our Director and CEO Maxwell Anderson, will give the conference opener, Moving from Virtual from Visceral.  Pretty cool.  This conference is becoming so web-by, that they are now even featuring live tweets during his presentation on a projector.

Wow, two action-packed weeks back to back… Since launching ArtBabble last week we’ve gained 1600 new registered users and served over 140,000 pages. This week Museums and the Web is coming to Indianapolis.

Here’s a sampling of some of the things that our group is involved in at the conference:

• This morning’s whirlwind tour of tech at the IMA
• Presenting a paper on Cloud Computing
• Talking about social tagging and online video
• Cheering ArtBabble on for Best of the Web
• Hanging out with the cool cats in the Davis Lab during Friday’s reception
• Demoing ArtBabble for the early birds on Saturday (note to self: don’t party too hard on Friday)

And of course we’ll be looking forward to discovering tales of triumph and seeds of inspiration from the great work that everyone else at the conference will be sharing.

It’s been awhile since I’ve rambled on about some projects, so I felt like the time was right to do so.  Today.  I have a lot of favorite things I like, but occasionally, I’m able to nail that down to a specific numeron uno – like a favorite dinosaur, car, airline or tie knot.  So when considering the amount of social networking sites today, I always, always point to Flickr.  I love Flickr.
