On the 13th of April 2007 I gave a short talk at the British Council to the alumni of the International Young Publisher of the Year awards, vaguely entitled Publishing in the Digital Age.
If you were there, I’d love some feedback in the comments at the bottom of the page.
Links to some of the things I talked about:
- Ebooks are coming – here’s the post that started this site, and informed the talk.
- Ereaders: some of the models I mentioned.
- Eink paper: One announcement and a cool video.
- Google Book Search
- Scribd – YouTube for text
- Snowbooks – snowbooks.com
- The Snowblog
- Paper Cut book trailer (YouTube) (Google)
- Snowbooks on Myspace
- Snowbooks on Myspace: Lint and Memphis Underground
- Memphis Underground on Last.fm
- Snowbooks in Second Life
- Books on Mobile Phones: ICUE (and my post about them)
- Other stuff that might be (the) way ahead:
- Meet The Author
- Book Blogs – britlitblogs is a good place to start
- Library Apps:
- Networked Books:
- We Are Smarter Than Me
- A Million Penguins (particularly the Banana Version)
- The Frontlist – no more slush pile!
- And finally… The Bookmobile (because I think it’s great).
That’s the lot. It’s starting to look like a summing-up of everything that booktwo.org is about, and my thanks to the British Council for giving me a chance to put it all in a row, and to Snowbooks, for letting me try lots of mad projects – and share them.
