Williams is an exceptionally generic name in my county, and I share my first name with some remarkable Williams women in other fields.
So let's call this disambiguation: I'm the one from the San Francisco Bay Area, first known for theatre, then involved in online community management.
(Managing social networks is sometimes nearly an oxymoron, so obviously work has been very interesting at times!)
You may know me as gail on The WELL, as gailwilliams on my current blog project, or as fotogail on Flickr and Vimeo.
Like so many people, I now have bits of information scattered all over the Web. This is a page I don't update too often, but it can serve as an anchor point with links to some of my very different projects.
Becoming gail @ The WELL, my original home page at The WELL, was my first HTML playspace.
The WELL's been a beloved home since 1990. I'm part of WELL management now, and the community is part of Salon.com. The old home page is not much different than when I first started it, however.
Connectable Dots is where I blog and comment on social networking and community issues once in a while.
