Over at Unit Structures, this has been the week of linking out. Don’t fear, overlong psuedo-academic ramblings on social software will come back next week, but for right now I’ve got a few pointers for you.
First and foremost, a reminder to register for the HASTAC II conference. The conference will be held at UCI and UCLA May 22-24; the fee is a very reasonable $100, and for those in LA, it is right in your backyard. I’ll be heading out to meet some of my new coworkers, if you’re planning on attending, please drop me a line!
Via the Carolina Center for Public Service, news of a new, insteresting grant program “to support the facilitation of better engagement of college students in service through social media.” Run by the Corporation for National and Community Service, these are federal funds open to individuals affiliated with educational institutions. The grant pool is $2.3MM, and CFP date is 5/7/08.
Finally, news from Micah Laaker that MyBlogLog now supports MicroID. I’m a proud MBL user and I’m happy to see they’re supporting MicroID (and a bunch of other open-socialy kind of things).

Thanks for shout out to MyBlogLog. Love what you’re doing with ClaimID and have been using it as my OpenID server for a long while now.
