The #VALA2010 conference tag features on HotStuff 2.0. HotStuff 2.0? is an automatically updated blog developed by Dave Pattern (Library Systems Manager, University of Huddersfield, UK). RSS feeds from over 800 library related blogs are collated on a daily basis and analysed in an attempt to discover new and/or interesting topics.

A daily blog post is generated using a single word that has seen a marked increase in usage over the last few days. A “Word Wheel” image shows the strength of the links between that word and other words that have also recently seen an increase in usage. This can sometimes help to put to the words into context, but mostly it’s just an excuse for some eye candy!
