Many thanks for everyone that has joined in the conversation – a few links to other posts/articles from over the weekend on a very bright Monday morning in England.
This morning's New York Times has an interesting article, with lots of people I had never heard of using the web for collaborative writing (Mark Z. Danielewski, Yocahi Benkler and Lisa Scottoline).
Buzzmachine continues to be a hive of activity – with posts on books, why blogging is becoming imperative and more on books.
if:book (The Institute for the Future of the Book Blog) has more on Gamer Theory, the reader collaborative book, as well as addressing moderation issues…
I have linked to it before, but here it is again – infotainment rules has a few posts that compliment Buzzmachine. Books, books and well…more books.
Library Journal, The Guardian and Ricahrd Charkin (Macmillan CEO) all carry articles on digital printing.
What do you think of this notion of collaborative writing? I can’t get my head around it. I can only imagine it as a type of writing by committee which sounds like a very bad idea to me…
Adding one more link –
