trovebooks: #toc Cory Doctorow great talk. Death to DRM
trovebooks: #toc "Extending the Publishing Ecosystem" analogizing to music industry "360 deals" ... my ?: are record labels a good role model?
trovebooks: #toc ah, speaker says no. whew. but the good ? is can we align all the interests of the publishing ecosystem
trovebooks: #toc got less out of this pub ecosystem session than i hoped
: @trovebooks Expected more from the ecosystem session too. #toc
trovebooks: #toc rise of the ebook session ... hopefully this turns out better for us than rise of the terminators
trovebooks: #toc so apparently I am in the small minority in this room by not having an iphone.
: @trovebooks I have a G1 (Android) #toc
trovebooks: #TOC smart women read ebooks session ... very interesting
trovebooks: #toc camped out in lobby like a digital hobby, riding the TOC wifi ... b/c while Motel 6 can put free wifi in your room Marriott can't
trovebooks: #toc how can hotels be more googly per J. Jarvis? Don't charge $16/day for internet! Marriott blew their tech budget on HAL 9000 elevators.
: @trovebooks Maybe they figure someone who can afford to come all the way to NY for an industry conference can afford it. #toc
trovebooks: #toc This fine article on Twitter use at TOC opens with my own smartass tweet from earlier today:
: @trovebooks Speaking as the author of the piece in question, I'm glad you approve. :) #toc
trovebooks: But yes, your piece does capture very well the twittery subtext of today at #TOC
: @trovebooks Thanks. I was really amazed just how much it was possible to grok what was going on there without actually being there. #toc
: @trovebooks I can only imagine what it would be like to be there *and* have Twitter up. #toc
: @trovebooks Ppl were talking about how many other ppl had TweetDeck open, or that they couldn't hear the speaker for all the typing. #toc
trovebooks: #toc It's all just storytelling. Yea!
trovebooks: #toc What I really want to know is whether Miskatonic U. library is part of the Google Books settlement, because that could turn out badly.
trovebooks: Sessions all running together in my head now. Memory may be full. #toc
trovebooks: #TOC Did you lose an earring in Broadway North, 4th row, left side? I have it.
trovebooks: #toc found dangly earring ... two iridescent square pieces... Broadway North
trovebooks: My main mission at #toc was to get a better fix on my options for doing ebooks, digital editions, and maybe audio.
trovebooks: For me as an indie micropublisher - really, nanopublisher so far - many of the digital conversion/distribution products at #toc were not apt
trovebooks: Maybe I should say that again in Twitter protocol @ipublishcentral -- great product, was very impressed by what I saw at #toc
trovebooks: Did not catch up with @markcoker at #toc, but Smashwords is another tool that looks useful for getting Trove digitized. Loved the ID strap.
: @TroveBooks Right now I think the best option for very small publishers is a smart, enthusiastic ITperson + open source tools #toc
