The Mic Is On: We’re Talking About eBooks!

Filed Under SOB Business, Successful Blog | 320 Comments

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Let’s Talk eBooks

The Internet almost drowns us in information. Savvy folks know that, with the right search skills, we find the answer to almost any question. Does it make sense to publish information in the form of eBooks and other information products? Tonight it’s about eBooks:

Do we read them?
Do we write them?
Do we buy them?
Do we sell them?
Has an eBook changed your life in any way?

ahem . . .

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Be On the Watch for Internet Trolls!

We meet our first friends growing up. Sometimes we find we have a fan. It’s a shock when we bump into a troll. They’ve been around since the Three Billy Goats Gruff tried to cross the bridge. You can find them in the World of Warcraft on Twitter, and in the comment box of your own blog.

Here’s a link about them and a guide to handling the problem. It’s only a few paragraphs, but it will get you in the mood because tonight it’s about trolls:

trolls we once dated
troll dolls & trolls in fairy tales
trolls who interrupt Internet conversations
ahem . . .

Trolls Belong in Fairy Tales

We meet our first friends growing up. Sometime when we do something well we find we have a fan. It’s a shock when we bump into a troll. They’ve been around since the Three Billy Goats Gruff tried to cross the bridge. They’re also cute little dolls with fuzzy hair. You can find them in the World of Warcraft on Twitter, and in the comment box of your own blog.
