One of the most satisfying experiences at Webcred was meeting Andy Carvin of the Digital Divide Network–a crucial ally in our battle to bring people across the “last mile.” (Doesn’t that sound like an essay?) You can hear my comments to the Webcred conference and read a summary from the “last mile” point of view at this post on the blog for the Digital Divide Network.
Meanwhile, to get a feel for the side discussions, see the IRC transcripts on Wikipedia; audio of the sessions will be up soon.

Librarians are our friends
Why librarians are our natural allies in bridging the nonprofit digital divide.

You’re too kind! I wish there were an HTML tag to express blushing, because I’m doing it right now!
Seriously, though, it was really great meeting you in person - I’m a longtime fan of your blog, and am honored to have been mentioned by you both in your presentation and virtually. I’d love to be able to chat with you about ways we can introduce more librarians to some of the tools we’ve created on DDN; it would be wonderful to see a whole generation of librarians blogging and podcasting.
thanks again,
andy
