Today at a glance - various ramblings about nook, sandboxes, and tweeting

Meetings meetings meetings..
  • Discussion and ideas for wordpress for the libs blog (already use it; looking to expand it). I'm working on my own domain at the moment. I'm so glad that I have my own webspace, it makes design, templating and well... experimenting much easier. Unfortunately, we don't really have much in the way of a sandbox ; it's just a subdomain of the overall website. So, things don't work like they should in real time, esp. with opensource software. Plus, loading files can sometimes be a real pain in the a$$, because site security is so strong (which is good/bad).

If you post to Twitter, does twitter own your photos and artwork?

A few of us at twitter (thanks @ashuping) were having a discussion about images & creative commons which expanded to microblogging. A few months ago I read a really interesting post arguing that if you post an image through twitter it is essentially public and free to be used by anybody (or at least that is how I read the article).
