Thirty Three Twitter Feeds to Follow – The folks at Poets & Writers put together a helpful list of publishing and writing oriented twitter feeds to follow.
Kindle Spam Clogging Amazon – What a mess. Fake compiled books are being uploaded on the Kindle digital platform and sold to unsuspecting people. Another argument for Curation.
Google Books Creates Affiliate Program – Click this to apply to become a sales affiliate for Google Books. Similar to the Amazon program. At least it gives you an alternative if your state has been shut out by Amazon’s war with State Departments of Revenue.
Turn Off Your Phone – Donald Miller seeks out the secret to productivity. Simple but effective.
How Many of Your Facebook Friends do You Know? – Tech Crunch summarizes a Pew Research Study. They claim, “Facebook users have about 229 Friends, with about 22% of their total Friends list being comprised of people they know from high school, 12% extended family, 10% coworkers, 9% college friends, 8% immediate family, 7% people from extracurricular groups and 2% being neighbors.” I guess I’m not normal.
That’s crazy about the Kindle spam. I wonder how they are going to stop it….
Okay….funny story. I just had to submit my comment three (yes, three) times b/c apparently, I can’t add.
I got the addition problem wrong twice and both times, the computer flashed to this, “Bye bye spambot!” screen.
It was 15 + 9, in case anybody cares to know. At first, I put 16, then 14. Yea….don’t ask.
Now I’m wondering if 22% of my facebook friends are from high school. That’s sorta weird. On top of that, I’m worried about my addition skills. The pressure’s on . . .
I recently started Twitter and am still building my follower/following list, so that was news I could use. Thanks.
I have 281 friends and 1 is from high school. Ooops. I broke the mold.
No surprise about the Kindle spam. Hackers are next. Technology…
Kindle spam. Not surprised. On the flip side, maybe this will encourage Amazon to tighten the guidelines. One can hope.
Okay, trying to add now…
