1) I was drawn to the Frekfly mashup (http://www.frekfly.com/) - perhaps because MLA is coming up. This is really practical and easy to use. You enter your departure and destination points and it pulls up maps for each city, weather information, and additional information about the destination including hotels and local currency.This site was a good illustration for me personally of what a good mashups can do -- quickly bring together useful information from disparate sites in a clean, easy to use display.
2) Privacy on librarian blog. I'm proud to be a member of a profession that still respects and guards privacy in an age in which it is so often threatened. It's interesting to read the diversity of postings on privacy issues: technological, political, social, etc. I didn't notice any postings in this search result regarding privacy of medical records, but I think that is, will, and should be a big issue of interest to medical librarians.
