Hello,



(Sorry: I was at a meeting and am late to the party :-))



I think a twitter marathon is a _brilliant_ idea.  It would be great to show some of the obscure things we catalogue (Georgian pamphlets anyone? )and some of the theoretical issues we wrestle with while classifying.  A 24 hour one sounds particularly great, as it would be interesting to see similarities or differences as the marathon moved around the world!

Would be really interesting and, if it was done through HVCats, we could even try to cover most of a 24 hour period with all our colleagues in the US and elsewhere abroad.... hm, off to put my thinking cap on!
