Some really interesting thoughts over at the Appingo blog (who by the way make what looks like the slickest web based publishing centric production software I’ve seen to date). The idea they are talking about has been on my mind for some time and I reckon they have a clear concept of what is involved. Books Going Hollywood and More Book Producer Talk
Bloomberg has an interesting piece on the economics of the Kindle and $9.99 ebooks. Which prompted Index//mb to point me in the direction of this CNET Audio which is well worth listening to!.
Last, but not least, Creativecareers.ie is back in action as a free and automated service. And a good one at that!

Eoin,
I posted an article about these ‘likely’ lads at the start of June.

The fact that their website wasn’t properly developed and up and going baffled me. And their main focus was viral books and promotion??
The Youtube video reminded me of Mr. Laurel & Mr Hardy publishing.
Another New York publishing idea scratched out on the back of a marlboro softpact in the ‘Cheers Bar’ over two bud by two goons who just got laid off from an NY publishing house or just had nothing better to do.
Thanks for the publishing memories lads!
Missed that when you put it up!
Funny business all the same, why bother with a viral campaign or pr when you’ve no way to capture interest?
