Week 5: Play Thing 11: Explore Web 2.0

So many new tools to discover. I used the award-winning short list and discovered LuLu where the business is buying and selling numerous kinds of content. The creator retains "editorial and copyright control" of their work. The site clearly states that copyright is enforced. Many services were listed as free, such as press releases, some marketing tools, podcasts featuring authors, monthly newsletters. Additional features included marketing tools for a fee and services offered by third-party vendors.

Creating and sharing content of a book, calendar, video, or other content offers an exciting dimension to the publishing community of you and me. Online retailers can also purchase. I'm curious if publishing by demand might make access of materials for libraries more affordable. I found a title by David Warlick on Classroom Blogging available.
