Hi Everyone, this may be the article regarding the accuracy of Wikipedia vs. Britannica that Dr. Grossblatt was talking about. This is three years old, so I wonder if the findings would be different today.

books minute 60 seconds

Ryan Holman on 05 Mar 10

This would appeal to me more if I didn't get visions of people watching the 60 second videos and claiming to have "read" the book (my inner bookworm is cringing). If you can have previews for movies, though, I don't see why you couldn't have previews for a book, assuming that's how they are actually used (because I'm sure we all know how Cliff's Notes and even literary Wikipedia entries have turned out so far; some people do legitimately use them to merely clarify the text, but far more use them as a substitute...).

Kindle ebooks drm piracy

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 25 Jun 09 - Cached

As noted earlier, DRM does nothing to prevent piracy. It’s in place on the Kindle to provide proprietary lock-in for Amazon and a little hand-holding comfort for nervous publishers.  It serves to annoy and alienate potential paying customers. The Kindle has great potential as a device, but as long as Amazon continues to cripple it, readers would be advised to seek alternative e-book solutions.

...4 more annotations...
When blogging was young, enthusiasts rode high, with posts quickly skyrocketing to the top of Google's search results for any given topic, fueled by generous links from fellow bloggers. In 2002, a search for "Mark" ranked Web developer Mark Pilgrim above author Mark Twain. That phenomenon was part of what made blogging so exciting. No more. Today, a search for, say, Barack Obama's latest speech will deliver a Wikipedia page, a Fox News article, and a few entries from professionally run sites like Politico.com. The odds of your clever entry appearing high on the list? Basically zero.
