Oh the fun they had at r u game? yesterday!!

I so enjoyed following the comments on Twitter yesterday and am enjoying following them again today from the online seminar in WoW. this is such a great event and judging by the comments on Twitter is really engaging with a lot of library staff.

One thing that struck me yesterday was the number of urls flying around so I thought I'd best compile them from the twitter feed before they disappeared into the ether.
