Host Your Own Virtual Lightning Talks Using Google Hangout -- Slides and Links from ALA2013 Presentation

In the "very meta" category, this morning I gave a lightning talk about lightning talks to a crowd of about 150 at the LITA Lightning Talks session. More specifically, it was a brief presentation on how Code4Lib uses Google Hangouts-on-Air for its Virtual Lightning Talks. The slides and links from the slides are included below.
