Social Reading and Writing

Thursday, April 2, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

Ebooks open up a whole range of possibilities, from how people consume stories to how they talk about books they've read, and even how they find new works to read. Because ebooks are digital, authors and readers have many opportunities to be social with their books. One example is annotating books online. Tools like AnnotateIt and Annotator allow readers to mark up and share … [Read more...] about Social Reading and Writing

Trends and Startups in Book Publishing

Friday, January 18, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

The last couple years have been a time of change for the publishing industry, and I expect this year to be the same. Every few weeks I've been hearing about new startups and ventures that expect to--and probably will--disrupt publishing. I think it's worth sharing some of them here, and what their success could mean for publishing, both traditional and indie. … [Read more...] about Trends and Startups in Book Publishing

Apps are becoming a big part of our culture. Recently my sister has gotten into the app world.

Coca-Cola, Advertising, and Santa Claus

Tuesday, April 5, 2011 by Sabrina Ricci

Over the weekend, I went to visit my uncle in Battery Park. We were at the dinner table, dropping fish balls and slices of beef into a hot pot, when my uncle told me something shocking: "Santa Claus wasn't a jolly fat man dressed in a red suit until Coca-Cola made him that way." I'm not surprised he knew this. Back in the '90s, he collected coke cans from around the world … [Read more...] about Coca-Cola, Advertising, and Santa Claus

Tuesday, November 23, 2010 by Sabrina Ricci

Today in my Interactive Media class, we had guest speaker Richard Nash. Nash, former publisher at Soft Skull, is now launching a start-up company, Cursor, which is a social approach to publishing.
