Tried out the Little Outliner tweet feature with my impeachment song – check out the tweet series!
A cool description of an IndieWebCamp held virtually – neat! (via Chris Aldrich)
Completed testing of Little Outliner menu commands and icons, found some problems, see the “Summary of Test Failures” summit in my public outline for more information.
Can Packt Publishing be making any money?
Recently, I was looking for some books on developing desktop applications for Ubuntu. It seemed that Packt Publishing had the most recent titles, which was one of the criteria I was using for selecting the books. However, I noticed that many of them were available as E-books for $5, compared to a hard copy price of $50 or more. After my searching, I then saw numerous Packt ads highlighting the $5 price. How can they (or their authors) be making any money at that price? To me, this removes incentive to spend the effort to create a book of 300 pages or more to sell for $5 a copy. Am I missing something here?
Thoughts from a user
After listening to Dave Winer’s voicemailcast today, I decided to create my own in response. I used Little Outliner to create a set of show notes (link), the podcast is shown below. Let me know what you think…anyone, anyone at all….
