Apologies for the previous mail with the dodgy links - a peculiarity of
cutting & pasting from Outlook WebMail...!  Please use this revised version,
the links should all work now.  Thanks to Jesse for letting me know so
quickly.  L




Dear ASCers,

As a quick follow-up to last night's Vic event on Web 2.0, science
communicators and museums, I've put together a quick list of some of the
social media/news references made during the discussion, plus some links to
members' workplaces which also came up.  I thought they might be useful for
the broad ASC audience not just Vic members or just those who attended.
