Great idea about using social networking to get feedback. I agree that the posts Jeremy Boggs wrote are excellent resources. I had meant to note his series and forgot to, so thank you :) Re: my site, I'm actually not using Omeka but I'd be interested in experimenting with it. This is just a first draft of the project, so I'd love to see what else I can add. I also need to chat with Brian about getting TokenX integrated into the site (far more useful than screen captures of Wordle). Karin:

Sites like Twitter, Friendfeed, even Facebook are great for this- you can just throw something out there and people will give great feedback. Also- your site is nice- you used Omeka, right? I'm hoping to use Omeka for an upcoming project or two. :) Jeremy Boggs also had a nice series of posts on designing for digital history: http://clioweb.org/blog/2008/04/part-one-figure-out-what-youre-building/
