    Just a note to let you know that I do subscribe to your blog & enjoy especially the comparisons you've done on feed readers and other 2.0 apps with pros and cons that would be useful to librarians and library staff. They are well written and thoughtful. Kudos on your blog anniversary and keep up the good work

    saw a comment from you on newmediabuzz, in the direction of (my term) the conversation is the blog, and perhaps creating the tech to go under that form would be cool ... basically i want the equivalent of four or five friendfeeds or interlaced twitters right on the first page ...

    could be an obscure image, lot of other people's ideas mean more to them than me, but do you have any response to this?

    You go, girl! Just wanted to say that I enjoy the energy and spirit that you bring to this community. If only half of us had the same desire and enthusiasm for expansive "conversation". That's what this world, our lives are made of.

    Your loyal supporter,

    Hi Whitney,

    Just a note to say thanks. You've done an outstanding job with your blog. I enjoy your feedback on web 2.0 apps.

    As a consultant I work with many "Enterprise" companies trying to find their way through this big shift. I always reference your site for examples in my presentations.

    I also appreciate your personal attention and responsiveness in twitter.

    Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

    Hi Whitney, congratulations on your first year in the blogosphere. You should know that you have enthusiastic followers in Spain (a bit afraid to comment though).
    I really liked your post on how twitter changed your life, mostly because we are so behind here, but Im not so sure about this. The way of choosing followers is similar to that of adding friends in Facebook or MySpace. Was it the same way at the beggining there?
    Thanks very much for sharing your insights, I really find your writing touching, humanizing for the web (sorry for my english).
