2011 Books in Browsers Conference 2日目 (10/28) in S.F. #bib11
So I'm wondering about the publishers that publish "spam" books, actually sell on #amazon? #bib11
2011-10-29 00:49:02#bib11: Kevin Kelly calls the spam books "spooks" -- which is a pretty amusing moniker.
2011-10-29 00:49:55it's good to talk about some of the healthy, emergent dysfunctions of online publishing like trash, spam books (spooks) @kk #bib11
2011-10-29 00:50:06(Sorry for the Tweetnami, but this stuff is too good to keep.) Kevin Kelly: Most of the biological life on Earth is like spam. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:51:02@twliterary I think you're reflexively trying to make a moral point, but there's more than one useful angle in the conversation.
2011-10-29 00:51:16Kelly: Most of the life on our planet is parasitic, almost spam-like. #bib11
2011-10-29 00:51:21I was not initially convinced by @kevin2kelly's data:lifeforms argument, but on reflection, I think he's on to something. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:51:32Rather enjoying Kevin Kelly talking about the protozoan literature of fanfic and spam, the ecosystem out of which literature emerges. #bib11
2011-10-29 00:51:49#bib11: Kelly has Fan-fic sitting between "spooks" -- spam books" and legit lit.
2011-10-29 00:51:50Something almost presumptuous in Kelly's attitude about the lesser value of "lower" forms of life, same can be said of content #bib11
2011-10-29 00:52:27@activrightbrain sessions from both days will be archived and available soon (we have the lovely Kirk Walter + team here with us at #BiB11)
2011-10-29 00:53:05I'm starting to think it's pointless to try to define "book," and we should stop. Quoth Potter Stewart: I know it when I see it. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:53:32Kevin Kelly: We need a new term for books we watch and movies we read. How about screening. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:53:59Kevin Kelly talking about transmedia right now. On that subject, I enjoyed @frankrose's book, The Art of Immersion. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:54:35#bib11: Kevin Kelly says we're moving from a place where you have books you watch and video you read, sounds clever....but it's illogical.
2011-10-29 00:53:51I see Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet in Kevin Kelly's smalldemons slide. /sigh #bib11
2011-10-29 00:54:55Kevin Kelly: Hyperlinking to media is easy, but how to hyperlink to an *idea*? #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:55:13Kelly highlighting some of the challenges of what the NISO Annotation group is trying to address. #bib11
2011-10-29 00:56:05@tcarmody Ha! Sure, why not... Especially that animated episode they did last year.

2011-10-29 00:56:55However his point about fez caps in Casablanca is reason why WG probably will focus on text 1st. Problem gets v. complicated quickly #bib11
2011-10-29 00:57:18Kevin Kelly: As "books" get updated, streams become the ingredients for immersive media. Voila, footnotes on streetcorners. #BiB11
2011-10-29 00:57:38@mickfortune No, I hadn't heard that... Thanks for the news about John. Hopefully, he's recoving quickly. Will send a note to him. Tx
