Twitter Tappenings

Yes, I tweet and follow some very interesting folks, and thought I'd share a peek at my week on Twitter.  Is it a time waster?  It fan be, but there's also some interesting things happening there, and is also a good way to have a chat with someone about something - my last chat was with someone who told me I needed to read the Larsson books in order and why.

By the way, RT means "re-tweet", as in I retweeted it for my group of followers to read.

From Those I Follow that I RT'd
RT @JessicaScott09: RT @Airborne_Ranger: There are 2 things that are keeping me from watching the new twilight movie... they're called testicles. ”-lol!!

RT @cat_johnson: Amazon is selling the print of ROUGH STOCK already and it's on sale http://amzn.to/ccjX1F

RT @Borders: Now open: our new eBook Store! Choose from over a million eBooks. Your books. Your device. Your choice http://ht.ly/285Ij

RT @ellorascave: Countdown to NEW @jaidblack novella, Politically Correct 2: Subjugated, releasing Monday, 7/12! (Cool, loved Stalked!)

All sorts of interesting stuff happened last week! 


A Bit From Me
Street Beat: 11 yo boogie boarder bit by elephant seal not long after PMMC released 3 recuperating pups. Child did not require medical attn.


PMMC = Pacific Marine Mammal Center is a wonderful and necessary facility. Check them out and sponsor a seal. http://www.pacificmmc.org/

Street Beat: Citation. Wedding planner cited for putting chairs on beach w/out permit. Police couldn't say if nuptials proceeded as planned.

Feeling hot? Well, this shower is cool, unique even, but as an #eroticromance author, I'm thinking things! http://bit.ly/cn4lMA

You all know from this weeks Book Talk! that I was reading the paper from the town I was visiting and I also mentioned something about routines.  Well, along those same lines, I always check out the local Street Beat to see what's been happening, and share it :-)  Something else I often tweet is links to unique and/or interesting to me "things" I find in my bloglines and that would be the last one.

By the way, if you'd like to talk face-to-face, today I'm at the Borders in Middletown NY from 2-5:00pm est.

There have been some...

interesting articles about books, ebooks, authors - basically, all things tome-related, this past week. Here they are as noted in my twitter account:

An author's view on bailout request from WSJ and some good suggestions of how to do it better - http://tiny.cc/3gopD

An interesting find in the historical sex/BDSM lifestyle - quite a surprise: http://tiny.cc/HABvv

Oh man, when they are needed most, things are not looking so good for libraries - http://usat.me/?34027456.

Dear Author has a great article up on what should be in an eBook-some of it is really obvious, but isn't done-why? http://tiny.cc/excfE

The perfect set of bookshelves as designed by Stijn Disscheroux - http://tiny.cc/5XrhI

A fabulous example of purple prose romance - Steve Martin and Stephen Colbert reading Danielle Steel - http://tiny.cc/LmTCi
