  1. Dan York mentioned that his Facebook pages stopped importing items from blogs. I had a similar issue with my personal page. I import one of my blog feeds and it stopped around April 8th, which sounds like when it stopped for Dan. I restarted it last week and it posted a few more items, but it seems to have stopped again for me.

    The blog feed is spewing out fine to Twitter and everywhere else it needs to go. Just not to Facebook.

    Nice to know I’m not alone.

  2. After hearing about Ragan’s one day conference, I had a question for your listeners.

    It’s been my experience in the library field that unless you live within driving distance of a conference, one day conferences are actually discouraged. The thought is that by the time you have to spend airfare and possibly lodging the night before, a one day conference is not worth it.

    If you do live within driving distance, then one conferences are encouraged. As you might imagine, this doesn’t happen often here in Alaska.

    So my question for my fellow listeners is this: Are you interested in one-day conferences regardless of their location or do they only tempt you if you could drive there?
