Here's a Question
Are any of the state GIS Coordinators, or any of our partners, using upcoming.org to post information about meetings and events?
upcoming is a social-networking site focused on events and meetings. I have created a NSGIC Persona on the site and linked to a few GIS-related events. I have used a feed from the site to add a small "Upcoming Events" badge to the sidebar of the NSGIC blog.
This is part of an ongoing experiment in the use of social networking tools on-line in support of NSGIC's mission and of GIS coordination.
So. If you are making use of upcoming, or sites like it, or if you know of a coordinator who is, please let me know.

Thanks, Mike. Haven't seen upcoming.org yet - however, social-networking is the newest wave at work. Today's Wall Street Journal had a large writeup on it.
I've started working on an internal Wiki for document collaboration at FEMA.
Mike,
Never heard of it until now. And when I tried to use it, I got filtered by our Websense program.
Not sure folks are ready for this yet, but who knows.
