A book I ran across about information overload and how we can take control of the media that is overloading us and use it to our benefit (the Foreword is written by Clay Shirky).
Amazon introduces the Kindle that lets you share ratings of and highlighted passages from books you've read with your friends through social media networks, and introduces "Kindle Singles" -- "short stories written by well known authors and published electronically by Amazon that come at a cheaper price than full-length books," for our shorter attention spans.
This article is referenced in our current book about what the internet is doing to our thinking. It is written by Nicholas Carr who is also the author of our next book, The Shallows. It sounds like it will be a very interesting book.
