ia play

I’ve just started a short archaeology course with the Open University. I’m not sure what connections I can make with IA but we’ll see.

Fossils and the history of life was my first ever OU course, so I seem to be reverting to courses about digging.

myExperiment is for scientists “to share, re-use and repurpose experiments”. It makes me feel a little Web 2.0 queasy. An Open Source beta, built in Ruby on Rails, supporting Creative Commons licenses, complete with wiki, tags, openid, bookmarklets, and a restful API.

Oddly one of the FAQs is ‘why not use Facebook?’. Did someone seriously suggest that?
