23 Things. I love it. Not 24. Not a round 20. That would be way too "formal," "structured," "ordered." It's a high enough number to feel a sense of accomplishment, but not so high as to seem unattainable.
What IS (or should it be ARE) 23 Things? Simply and in my words, it's a way for me and other people to explore and play with 23 different Web tools/applications that the average 10 year-old to twenty-something probably uses daily but that I've been cluelessly in the "duh" mode about. Okay, yeah...I've used some of them, but by no means have I attained "goddess" status in any of them.
23 Things, specifically, was created by Spring Branch ISD Library Information Services (A.K.A. the trio of "Head Honchos" of the SBISD libraries, led by Texas Librarian of the Year (TLA), the fabulous Dr. B.) for librarians and other SBISD employees, and even non-district folks, to get out of the larval "duh" stage when it comes to Web 2.0 and Library 2.0. They modified and adapted it from other sources like Stephen Abram's article, "43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year" (Information Outlook - February 2006) and the website 43 Things. You can find out lots more about it at Library2Play and this blog entry.
