Here is the link to the 10-minute Drupal Tutorial that I posted on the Wiki. This site looks full of good information.

It actually costs the NY Times less to buy everyone a Kindle than to print the paper.

A fascinating investigation that raises questions about Digg's ranking algorithm; revenue models based on page views; and the ethics of media outlets inflating their page hits using social bookmarking.

We should know later today about the next generation of Kindle, but most interesting to me in this article is the mention that Kindle titles will be available for cell phones. This makes the iPhone a competitive product and greatly expands the market.

Of all the Kindle 2 coverage, this one by far has the coolest picture.

Bloomberg coverage of new Kindle.

An online communit that allows authors to upload their manuscripts in the hopes of being accepted to a traditional publishing program by HarperCollins.

Chaos (and cursing!) in the magazine distribution arena. The comments at the end are interesting, too.

Speaking of reading an e-book, our text book for this class is apparently on Google Book Search. Maybe some of you knew that already, but I sure didn't! I like that this page also gives a list of other similar books.

This is an article that gives some insight on why e-books are gaining popularity and why we should be reading more e-publications.

Launching a new content management system can be a disaster without the right plan in place. Experts share their advice to help you better manage the process.

Monty Python: "We're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there! But we want something in return. None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years."

I lean to the copyleft so I like to see stories on free content leading to increased sales for artists and content providers.

Brief, but interesting take on making money online with free content or a free/paid hybrid.

Another free CMS, for those still mystified by Dupal.

Always a good idea to keep up with Web site trends. Many businesses are now using Facebook, etc. to network, it'd be nice to be on the forefront of something instead. Plus, there's just some neat stuff here.

I wonder if Eric Sclater will be talking about this case in his copyright law class. Curious to see how this plays out.

I can see this definitely being a topic in Eric's class. I just wonder why AP waited so long to claim copyright infringement? This image has become so popular and a part of history, that is probably what is prompting this law suit. I want to see the outcome of this as well - should be interesting!

The Canadian government is about to change its stance on copyright to a much tougher view.
