- facebook ‘like’ is not an emotion
- losing connections to materials and history when not thinking about the platform and how that effects our stories
- can we write stories about our collections?

Will Hicks – Metadata Entry Beyond Usability
- think back to volunteering to donate blood, etc. what value did it give you?
- ~300 individuals creating metadata
- stats have bumped up with a new interface
- but 10% of the stuff is hidden
- “usable” forms are great, but little “ownership” and lack of domain expertise
- what if we applied the ideas used in social media?
- invite with openID, personalize projects, badges, stats, visualization, etc.
