I just thought I’d post a short note to talk about Third Tuesday last night in Vancouver. This is the third time I’ve attended Third Tuesday on the left coast and it was nice to see some familiar and new faces last night as I was one of three presenters delivering “mini” case studies on social media projects. I chose to talk about a site we did recently for the Ottawa Public Library: “BOPL’s Book Club“. As a social networking site geared at kids, I thought the rather unique challenges we faced while developing it would be interesting to the group. I’m no seasoned presenter but it seemed from the questions I got from the folks there that I I did an OK job. Unfortunately the combination of a very packed house, a long narrow room and my non-projecting voice meant that I had to present twice — once to each end of the room — and both times I got caught going over the 7 minute limit. Oops… if anybody has read my posts on the blog they won’t be surprised at all that I had a hard time keeping it brief.

Thanks go out to Tod Maffin once again for organizing (and asking me to present) and to CNW for sponsoring the evening. Looking forward to seeing everybody in December!
