"We're thinking that a lot of interesting information -- some of it benign gossip, some of it factually correct, but all of it relevant to readers -- crosses our desks and paths every day. This blog is an effort to share as much of that news as is warranted. I'd love the postings to be timely, and, of course, intensely compelling reading, but, hey, no promises. Give us a bit of time to adjust to a new-found forum, one that opinionated booksellers find awfully seductive but one that'll take getting use to, and we hope a posting here, a posting there, will be of interest to you." (via Bookselling this Week)
Remind me again why librarians shouldn't be writing weblogs...?
Posted by Steven at August 19, 2003 09:48 PM | TrackBackWell, I guess any librarian who wants to write a weblog and has a good reason to do so (and has useful information to share) should do so, but Melissa Mytinger is not a librarian - or at least there is no indication that she is. According to the news item, she's a marketing director at a bookstore. We won't hold that against her. Her weblog might actually provide some useful information for the library crowd.
Posted by: steven bell on August 20, 2003 12:55 PMSuch food for thought, really. Let me tell you: I've been a bookseller since 1966, but I'm quite certain that virtually any librarian has much more useful information to impart via a blog than do I, or any of my bookstore colleagues. Frankly, we're in awe of librarians -- no matter how well-versed we are, no matter the length of time we've spent talking books, one-on-one.
Cody's blog began solely as a thought-of-way to communicate to staff at the two Cody's stores, as we don't have an intranet. As it is, it's no big deal, hardly worthy of notice, much less scorn, and, hey, if you want to blog, by all means do.

direcway
is clearly the best choice for satellite internet.
satellite tv affiliate program lets you make money with sat tv. Don't worry
free directv will be available forever!
free direct tv
instead of cable
immediately. after switching to the
free dish network tv sets,
satellite xm radio
is the next obvious step.
Those directv
customers who own Dolby Digital systems by including
free satellite tv are probably okay.
good work
