  1. If you hadn't already guessed, this Twitter account is dead now. You'll now find me over on Google+. plus.google.com/10915915219314…
  2. Some of my Michael Chabon-inspired musings about ebooks and the author's share of the cuts. ow.ly/87S5M
  3. Hotel booked for 3 nights? Why, of course I bring 6 books. Plus the 92 ebooks in my iPod Touch.
  4. @skrishna You may also want to check out Memeo Connect, Syncplicity and OffiSync.
  5. @skrishna There's a plugin for OpenOffice that syncs with Google Docs.
  6. @beatccr Probably because of all the journalists and news agencies rushing to grab a copy. @bookladysblog @DevourerofBooks
  7. @wellreadreviews Facebook appears to have gone belly up for me too.
  8. @bookladysblog I don't think it needs to be overly chatty. Just enough so that people know there's a human being involved.
  9. @beatccr Most blogging software defaults to partial feeds, so it's highly likely if they just did a fresh install.
  10. @beatccr Just as I'm unlikely to regularly (if ever) read a blog/web site that doesn't have a news feed.
  11. @beatccr Are you talking about feeds that just show an excerpt? Yeah, I'm about 90% likely not to subscribe to an excerpt-only feed.
  12. Emotional Attachment, Aging, and Books. http://bit.ly/cDfXpo
  13. I'm tweeting regularly with my primary @retroblique account, so please follow me there to stay up to date with news of future projects.
  14. Apologies for lack of tweets. The IH8YB blog is now on hiatus and will be relaunched in the future in a slightly different guise.
  15. Why are so many people shocked when a book isn't translated with 100% accuracy to film? They're two very different art forms.
  16. Get this book to the top of your reading stack as soon as possible. http://bit.ly/cWzwiI
  17. The true stories behind those classic book covers. http://bit.ly/aVysr4
  18. How to get unfollowed on Google Buzz: Link your Twitter account and post/share/comment on nothing else.
  19. Just started reading China Mieville's The Kraken. If you though TC&TC was a headfudge, wait 'til you read this! @bookladysblog
  20. Everyone please welcome Nikki, aka Faerie Mad Hatter, to the world of blogging. She rocks. http://girlwhoatethepeach.wordpress.com/
