I had a lovely dinner with 9 other attendees at a Chinese restaurant where we discussed any number of interesting library topics (including the explicitly advertised topic of the dine-around, screencasting). Among the people there (not meaning to leave anyone out, but my memory is quite fallible when it comes to remembering 9 different names) were Holly Hibner from Plymouth District Library in Plymouth, MI, Ryann Uden from Barrington Public Library District, Trina Burns from Rockford Public Library, and Natasha Bergson-Michelson from Google.
A highlight from the dinner worth sharing with all those interested in Google searching is, if you want to find out what people in other countries are saying about a topic, do a Google search on it, then go on the left and click on more search tools. Then click on Translated Foreign Pages, and you will get foreign sites, grouped by language translated into English for you.

Sorry - that's our old link. Awful Library Books is currently at http://awfullibrarybooks.net. Thanks for linking, Mark! Great to meet you!
Holly, I've corrected your link now. I didn't remember the last part of the url properly so I just did a Google search and apparently your old one comes up first. I'm sure that will correct itself in time.
