Apt’s links for February 13th

• Tools of Change — Tuesday Morning - Some excellent notes from George Walkley over at Tools of Change. Really interesting stuff - particularly on the O’Reilly data.
• Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog - books: Publishers are lost online - “These [three] announcements suggest we have not moved on from the year 2000 - at least a generation ago, in internet terms.”
• The Pirate’s Dilemma - “These techniques are only getting more sophisticated, while for the most part, the content industries collectively remain as dumb as a box of hair.”… Thanks James
• Publishers are braced for the slow death of the book - Times Online - Are they? Does that make us palliative carers?
• Monkeys and Drums and Stuff : iain tait | crackunit.com - “I’m trying not to care about it. There’s a global ideas-squeeze on, and I’ve not got time to be worrying about such things. There’s an internet full of things to be looked at and re-processed and re-appropriated.”
• Brave New World: Read by Digital Chapters - “We can only wait until someone is brave enough to write and publish a blockbuster in chapters.” Martyn sticks his neck out
