Some Sunday links
Some media-related links for your amusement:
1. What news outlets can learn from the porn industry. Let me just say that I agree with all the points made in those links. This is precisely why I announced not too long ago that I would begin covering the porn industry in this blog.
2. Tobias Buckell talks about freelancing full time and the importance of getting out of the house and socializing.
3. Ebook sales for the Sony Reader are still outpacing the sales for Amazon’s Kindle.
4. The perils of taking a press release and flipping it without making any follow-up phone calls.
5. Yes! Facebook is taking measures to cut down on the spam effect of its platform applications.
6. Those internet trolls that plague message boards? A court ruled that they can remain anonymous.
7. From Gizmodo: “If there was ever a time for a band to try going completely independent, this is it. Why give over 90% of your income away to greedy sleazebags when you can sell your music online without the middleman? This industry needs to be burned to the ground and built back up again; it’s broken and it seems less and less likely that it’ll be able to be fixed”
