Susan,

Thanks for sharing with the wider community. I also enjoyed the panel.
There will be another one like it Monday, Nov 8th - more details to
come soon. Perhaps we can think of ways for libraries, museums, and
archives to use flashmobs (using strategies like carrotmob) or devise
some useful micro-contribution activities using Sparked.
