    CELEBDAQ is a celebrity stock exchange game. Instead of shares in companies you buy shares in celebrities. The aim of the game: to make as much profit as you can by buying and selling 'shares' in listed celebrities.

    This website is Stephenie Meyer's official website. She shares her motivations for writing the book, the process, glimpses into each book, and information about herself. The most interesting section is the link called Midnight Sun, in which she details how her 5th novel was illegally released before publication on the internet.

Discursive: Tim O'Brien: Open Source Writing: Part I: A Few Problems with Publishing... - 1 views

  • The idea behind this book is that open source writing should be no different than open source software.
  • In other words, if you are writing a book that needs to be printed in lots of five thousand and shipped to book stores, your process is always affected by the idea of the book as a static, physical object.
  • This attachment to the physical object is driven by the economic realities of the publishing industry, but it creates an odd situation when you are writing about a rapidly moving open source project.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Successful open source projects usually don't have a set release date, software like Maven is released when it is ready.
  • It just seems odd that we have to dance around publisher deadlines when we are writing books about collaborative, unpredictable, schedule-less open source projects.
  • These days, publishers don't like to commit to books that are not going to move a significant number of copies. It is becoming more and more difficult to sell a good book to a publisher because as the open source world continues to evolve every topic becomes a niche topic with a limited audience.
  • You don't get a chance to interact, and you certainly don't establish any sort of persistent HTTP 1.1 connection with your readership. Publishers provide some tools to enable this support: forums, blogs, etc. If you've grown used to the "intimacy" and unstructured creative anarchy of open source communities, you'll feel a bit stifled.
  • But, as an author, you will want to either create that community yourself or (better yet) integrate that community with the community that has already developed around the project you are supporting.
  • I think authors and open source projects should manage a community of readers.

    This blog is written by a published author. He has written and continues to write books about software or code. In this blog post he discusses authorship in terms of open source. He makes an argument about how writing in general should be treated more like open source software is created. I am using his assertions to help development my claims that sites like webook.com are open source communities that allow authors to share ideas.

  • Will Wright, the creator behind top-selling videogame "The Sims,"
  • "We're taking the idea that you can have a million people engaged not just in entertainment, but also have them creating huge amounts of content for other people to experience
  • ""The Sims" was always an experiment," said Wright. "We never thought it'd be a mainstream thing. We simply did a game and started adding expansion packs and did a sequel and added more expansion packs."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "People can learn lessons about the past, present and future in an entertaining way."
  • "Games and stories are generative with one leading to the other," said Wright, who added that games allow people to build models in a virtual world to apply back to the real world.
  • Following on from his bestsellers like "The Sims 3" and "Spore," Wright is working on new franchises that can go beyond games to the Web, mobile devices, and traditional Hollywood outlets like television and film.

    "Copyright infringement liability for a later work arises only if the later work embodies a substantial amount of protected expression taken from the earlier, underlying work. The later work must take enough protected expression (it does not matter how much unprotected material is taken, for the latter is open to the public) for the later work to be "substantially similar" to the earlier work."

    This is an article I found on Google Scholar. This article examines the use of social-networking sites and how we really use them to interact with friends. Social-Networking sites are designed to help us keep in contact with our "friends", however it seems that the more friends we have on these sites the less we actually interact with them. This study used Twitter as a means to study just how many "followers" one has and how many of them do they really keep in touch with on a daily basis. This is an important/article I can use for my project because I am studying the use of Twitter and Authorship. Many use Twitter to as a way to elicit thoughts to others, but who are they thoughts going to if they aren't our everyday friends? This study could reveal why so many of our thoughts are being used and taken from us, because we are allowing people to see them who we do not even know. I may be able to use examples from this article to support who uses Twitter and for what reasons.

Social-networking sites are designed to help us keep in contact and interact with people we know. However, this study reveals how the more "friends" one has, the less they interact with them. This article looks at just how many people we do use social-networking sites to acutally interact with on a daily basis. Twitter is used in this study to examine how many "followers" people have but how many of them are thier actual friends. This will be a useful site for my project because it examines who uses Twitter and why.

  • Just as with the early broadsheets, many blogs are published anonymously, or more specifically, pseudonymously. Blogging pseudonyms are generally not fleeting aliases but fixed public identities, which are strongly associated with a particular author’s style and ethos.

  • he impressive proliferation of blogging as a form of writing has disseminated the category of “author” to an unprecedented level of true mass-culture participation,1 though the prevalence of pseudonymity in blogging suggests that “authorship” may be at once more influential and more disposable than ever before.
  • Blogging thus forces a reevaluation of the poststructuralist critique of authorship on grounds substantially different from those articulated by humanist critics during the height of the “theory wars” era of the 1980s and 90s.
  • Blogger outrage over plagiarism and identity concealment in the real world brings up an interesting paradox related to authorship, and that is the simultaneous emphasis on a commitment to authorial authenticity seems untroubled by an equally prevalent dependence on intertextual links, citations, and embedded media. Though bloggers are generally very concerned about giving credit where credit is due (the “Bloggers’ Code of Ethics” cited above lists “Never plagiarize” as its very first precept), for many bloggers—especially those who have an interest in commenting on current events—the ability to cut and paste bits of text, images, and video means that one incorporates an unprecedented amount of material by other authors into one’s own writing. Most blogs are at least partially collage texts, bound together by a blogger’s name, but heavily dependent on citations and excerpts that are effectively intertextual.

    This is an article from Project Muse. It talks about the sincerity of authorship in blogs. It relates the idea of a diary to a blog, and views blogging in a very personal sense. Considering the personal value of a blog, you can understand how authorship on blogging sites (TFLN), would fall under this umbrella of something not being considered plagiarized. This will benefit me greatly in writing my paper because I am mainly speaking about authorship in relation to anonymity, and the sites I am reviewing deal with some aspect of blogging.
