SharedBook Releases Blog2Print Upgrade

  • Quote: SharedBook, the publishing
    platform provider for online content, will release a new version of its
    Blog2Print widget today. We first covered the SharedBook Blog2Print widget here. Included in the upgraded widget is a embedded photo feature, which
    will automatically flow photographs and other images from your blog to
    the book format, alongside associated text. This means that those using
    your Blog2Print widget will now be able to gain the full context of
    your published content, from an online format to a physical printed
    format, retaining the integrity and intention of your original posts.Note: So if you have your kids blog for an extended period of time, they can be writing a real book as well, one that they can publish and sell.

    New business model for music. As an educator and practitioner in music the future of the music industry is fascinating to me. I don’t believe the harbingers of doom who announce the death of the music industry, rather I believe there will be a transformation. Music may follow the web model and earn from advertising. Live gigs and media syncronisation will become primary sources of income. Direct sales of and audio and video might not be the primary source of income, but won’t die.
    Stop spending money litigating and research new business models!
