The only good thing about time flying by so fast is that it will soon be time for Denis and me to spend a few days down in Bisbee so we can celebrate his birthday. Of course, once we're down there, I'll want time to drag very s-l-o-w-l-y. (And I know it won't!)
What did I find on my Internet travels this week? Let's take a look!
Here's What Fellow Bloggers Are Talking About
- Swapna (S. Krishna's Books) has begun a series of posts comparing the various book swapping sites. Since I'm a great fan of Paperback Swap, I'll be following this series with a great deal of interest!
- Lenore (Presenting Lenore) posted about the importance of registering with Technorati. I didn't realize this, so I'm glad that I am registered with them!
- Adele (Persnickety Snark) has a few things that get her goat (and mine). Do they get yours?
- Sometimes it's just fun to see someone sharing her enjoyment of spring, as Betsy (Joyful Reflections) does.
- Ms. Mazzola (State of Denmark) has a research project concerning why people blog. Why don't you give her a helping hand?
- Natalie (Book, Line and Sinker) wants to hear the pros and cons of being a Twitterer.
- Alyce (At Home With Books) has updated her review policy because she's tired of drowning in ARCs. It's something that other book bloggers are thinking about, and some of them have already taken action.
- Michele (A Reader's Respite) has a post about Original Content and the Book Blogger. She's made her own decision about the books she reads and reviews.
- Britain's Telegraph still believes in Sherlock Holmes.
- A court in Russia ruled against book reviewers. This could be interesting! (Thanks to Susan of The Book Chook for sending me this link!)
- I know several of my readers are interested in architecture. This week I discovered America's Favorite Architecture, where we can view and comment on the top 150 architecture projects selected by the American public.
- Follow the Reader has a post about why Kindle Publishing for Blogs could be a double-edged sword.
- Have you heard of FiledBy? It's a website where authors, writers, illustrators and photographers can connect with their fans. Sign up is free, and I just started tinkering with it this afternoon.
- Mashable has a list of over 50 ways to track your blog traffic.
- Problogger talks about 20 Types of Pages Every Blogger Should Consider.
- Several book bloggers will be appearing at Book Expo America next weekend. Here is a PDF copy of their schedule, and another website where you can listen to the Book Bloggers Panel on blogtalkradio. I would dearly love to listen to that panel, but I'll be at work. Drat! Hopefully someone will let me know if there's another way I can find out what all was said.
- Here's a directory of book trade people you can find on Twitter.
- Want to know How to Effectively Listen on Twitter?
- Raging Bibliomania
- Bookin' With Bingo
- Advance Booking
- I'm Booking It
- Tutu's Two Cents
- The Book Smugglers (Love their blog design!)
