Ebook

People wonder what I do at my desk all day, when they see me pop up on Facebook and Twitter.

Research, I tell them.

And today’s harvest has been remarkable:

• A WordPress widget that can turn your blog into an electronic book. Really. It can’t tell good from bad writing, of course, but it can help you format it professionally and get it ready for sale on Amazon. Anthologize, made by George Mason University’s Center for History and New Media. Bravo. Anthologize is free but still in beta.
• Visual Language for Designers, a book for everyone who wants to communicate more clearly. Written by Connie Malamud, a colleague of mine.
• A new blogging site claiming to be “the best publishing platform on the planet.” Posterous. I haven’t explored it fully yet, but I do like its design.

What have you found on the Internet today?
