With a hat tip to Dave Delaney, IDEO, a global design and innovation consultancy, has produced a video showcasing their vision on three potential scenarios for the future of books. The common thread among the three seems to center around encouraging discussion, interaction and community among readers. As an avid reader, I’m intrigued to say [...]

While Independence Day may be behind us, that doesn’t mean we have to put our patriotism on the shelf until next year.

With a hat tip to ReadWriteWeb and Marshall Kirkpatrick, I thought I’d pass along this poignant video of the end of an era. A nearly 150-year-old Denver newspaper printed its final edition yesterday.

I read with great interest a recent post from one of my favorite social media bloggers, Chris Brogan, on USA Today, CNN Headline News and the world of bite-sized media.
