It’s good to see more international folks named (so I assume they’re now getting nominated too!). There are two new ones from Canada and 2 from Australia, 2 from the UK, one from New Zealand and one from Singapore this year.

Bobbi Newman has done a good list of their web presences here in case you want to follow their blogs or tweets.

Welcome to the club! I hope we can all see eacthother at the LJ inauguration at ALA in New Orleans!
