5 ways to Facebook success
Many of us have now switched from Facebook groups to pages, or at least added a page. The added functionality available – such as pulling in the RSS feed from your blog – is a compelling reason.

10 ways to use Facebook
I’ve had a few requests recently for advice and workshops on how to use Facebook in publishing. It’s no surprise that the ubiquity of Facebook has finally reached the publishing world: it’s cheap, it’s effective, it’s easy. So how should you use it?

Leaving aside the four search sites (Yahoo!, Google, Live.com and MSN) – how can publishers – and authors – best tap into the top four [...]
authors are doing it for themselves
Our Facebook Group is now approaching 250 members. Many thanks to everyone who has joined, contributed, posted links, images, and discussions. It’s come as no surprise to me that the most active members of this group are authors. This supports a little theory I’ve had for a while:
Authors are doing more with social media than [...]
57 academics just punched the air
One Marketing Director also punched the air at a London Book Fair seminar this week when, in response to the question “which book campaign has made the best use of online techniques in the last year?”, panellist David Freeman cited The RSC Shakespeare: The Complete Works, published today by Palgrave Macmillan.
For those page-sniffing book-as-object fetishists, [...]
