Tomorrow morning I’m giving an hour session for scientists who want to get familiar with collaborative social media tools for the next three days of the conference ScienceOnline. You know that I was here [Research Triangle Park, NC] last year and that we talked about open access in developed countries, now with the accelerating emerge of participative media and their implementation in everyday life, including any professional area, there are some normative literacy’s to embrace in order to communicate and contribute.

As you know I do not make presentations in a classic way, with too much (or none) words, since this is workshop I will be demonstrating and practice interaction with people who are attending and will report, network and micro blog in the next few days on ScienceOnline2010.

Slide are uploaded on SlideShare, they are fluid in a way that I will add/talk/address/demo other issues on social media, social networks and science.

I know that PayPal issue is painful in Serbia for years – each year I write a post about this and lot of comments are coming my way here, but I just hope very, very soon that people in Serbia can use normally PayPal.

Anyway, these days I got  feedbacks on Twitter, via gmail and here that some people at some regions cannot proceed their contribution to edu.cause for new laptop. The main issue is if you are not logged into your PayPal account you will probably receive page in Dutch (NL -the place where is my PayPal account open). This is because redirection to PayPal is executed by flash inside widget ChipIn (one of the reasons I do not like flash). I wrote today to ChipIn tech support and I am expecting reply.

Until then, you can donate by logging to your PayPal account or when redirected to page in Dutch to follow these two simple steps that I marked on the screen shot. You enter some sum (step 1), and below you’ll get a drop menu with the list of the countries – let’s say you’re in US (Verenigde Staten in Dutch). Next thing you select your country (step 2) and the page will be loaded to your language. Give me some credits for learning Dutch! ::smile::
