I’ve got a Kindle question, so I thought I’d be interesting to post it on both question-and-answer site Quora and Stack Exchange’s Gadgets site to see which gives the best answers (or most, if any).
(Or reply here if you like, maybe Tumblr gives better answers…)
A good question asked by my former lecturer Maria Barrett on Twitter.
In almost tweet-like brevity, off the top of my head I’d say:
1. Outmoded laws and attitudes around copyright/ownership/licensing.
2. Shifting consumption habits (it’s bigger than MP3).
3. Public misunderstanding of value/cost (probably the industry’s fault though).
Comment with your own or tweet (@MariaBarrett or hashtag #CIAM).
I like this Guardian piece…but it’s still little more than stating the facts. I want insight, speculation and punditry, dammit!
What’re your thoughts or fave links?
They don’t necessarily have to be blogs belonging to museums or galleries (in fact, impartiality might be a good thing).
Some very interesting ones I’ve been enjoying a look at today are Museum 2.0 and Museum Marketing.
Can anyone recommend any good aggregators of economics articles - link blogs, social bookmarking bits etc?
Reddit’s economics section is rubbish (nothing but US bailout stories), but I like Free Exchange and Marginal Revolution. I’m generally more interested micro- than macro-, and am looking for medium-to-long think pieces (“Instapaper friendly”!) rather than brief newsy items.
