AIIP Presentation on Bookmarklets
Friday, April 27th, 2007I recently gave a talk at the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) conference on using bookmarklets. I recorded the audio and decided to put that together with the slide presentation to form a screencast. Here’s the description from the conference brochure.
