[Sigia-l] GIS and IA (was Dreaming of a career in IA)

Mon Jul 7 17:10:47 EDT 2003

I posted to my GIS board about GIS and IA.  The following was commented on 
my GIS board by one of our members, Tom Lowenhaupt, who works with Community 
Board 3 in Queens, NY.  He refers to a paper on Augmented Social Networks 
posted on their website (url below).  Anyone interested in this subject may 
continue to watch this discussion at 
http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gismonyc.

Another member of my group was interested in finding an "expert" on "map 
blogging" for an upcoming meeting.  Anyone know such an animal?
