It was a long, great day.\u00a0 I just came in from the VSS networking dinner at the Mohammed Ali Center<\/a>.\u00a0 I sat down to catch up with my online\u00a0activities and the first item in my feed is something from Gary Stager<\/a>.\u00a0 In the final paragraph he uses the term Web 2.0pians and I cannot think of a more accurate term to describe some of the things I saw today.<\/p>\n
