Tweets

tobiasbuckell: At 'building the web based book' with @pablod #toc interesting thoughts on nature of books.

Tweets

tobiasbuckell: Ingram at pod/digital/print panel: price is not the driver of sales for them, functionality and demand and other factors are #toc

pablod: Had to leave. The amount of FAIL coming from the Ingram guy was epic. Besides, @tobiasbuckell and me were the only non-suits there. #toc

tobiasbuckell: #toc majority of book piracy not coming through p2p

tobiasbuckell: People keep asking for more data about free ebooks, these guys have charts. With charts. And corellation numbers. #toc

johnny_angel: RT @tobiasbuckell: #toc majority of book piracy not coming through p2p

tobiasbuckell: Laws of popularity still apply. After a few weeks titles (books or tv titles) disappear with interest #toc

Tweets

tobiasbuckell: RT @pablod: Now: How to compete in the ebook marketplace. #toc tv: there too

tobiasbuckell: #toc presenters should realize that slides with tiny numbers on chart are hard to read from back. Chart= useless and non value added.

tobiasbuckell: #toc micropatronage as a pay model. Mmm. The return of micro-feudalism doesn't really excite me. It can only work for the top dog...

mikecane: RT @tobiasbuckell: #toc micropatronage as a pay model. Mmm. The return of micro-feudalism doesn't really excite me. [TRUNCATED]

tobiasbuckell: Non profit models for journalism, fund a 5 billion endowment. #toc

tobiasbuckell: RT @doctorow: The fact that people want something, the fact that it's good, does not mean that its commercially viable. #toc toby: amen.

tobiasbuckell: #toc mmm i think the bussiness model for future news is satire: daily show, colbert, the onion. Entertainment and news in one breath.

mikecane: @tobiasbuckell if Onion, Colbert, and Daily Show are the future of news, just fucking shoot me now. #TOC

Josh_Smith: @tobiasbuckell if @Johnjosephadams is at #toc with you steal me a copy from his luggage ;-)

angelajames: #toc @tobiasbuckell college project: create profile (10 years ago) and decided to do a website of journey to novelist

angelajames: #toc @tobiasbuckell people became part of my community n rooted for me n wanted me 2succeed. Harnessed that to write novels n online content

pablod: #toc Tor.com is an effort to engage our readers and to show authors how they can do the same thing that @scalzi and @tobiasbuckell have done

angelajames: #toc @scalzi and @tobiasbuckell we have created fandom through our community

angelajames: #toc @tobiasbuckell don't create a website that's purely promotional, authors, bring your personality and interact

angelajames: #toc @tobiasbuckell the ability to engage produces more longterm results than just vomiting content

pablod: Authenticity is key, sez @tobiasbuckell. Talking with your readers better than talking at your readers. #toc
