Of particular note, Johnny Holland has a great write up of day one and Matthew Solle has created a daily ‘paper’ here that pulls together of variety of sources including the live twitter feed.

Matthew also pointed out a great visualisation tool at IS Parade. Just put in your keyword (e.g. uxlondon) and watch the parade! It’s super cute and a great way of visualising everyone involved.

I’m looking forward to reading the reports from the remaining days.

Here’s a list of a few of the more interesting things going on:

• The Campaign Digest site is tracking the online engagement of the three main parties as well as maintaining a Flickr gallery of the daily changes on the parties website homepages.
• Martin Belam at Currybet.net is maintaining a social media and digital General Election Timeline.
• Electwits.co.uk is tracking the sentiment on Twitter as well live tracking during the televised debates.
• Jakob Nielsen did a review of the newsletters sent out by the parties: UK Election Email Newsletters Rated

I’m sure there’s much more that I’ve missed, so point them out in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

Jessamyn West posted a link to The Usable Library – basically a small site hightlighting things that make a library usable with some very good advice.

One of the presentations that I’ve particularly enjoyed is a collaboration between Nick Finck and Raina Van Cleave called The 10 Commandments of User Experience. Currently they only have the slides up, but hopefully soon the podcast will be available as well.

In addition, Mark McGuinness has made his book Time Management for Creative People available for free also. (Found via LibrarianinBlack)
