I love videos like these.

Tony and I were talking about this kind of thing on Saturday. I got the link from Jason Thibault, who you should follow.

Comic Book Downloads Drive eBook Market in Japan

“The eBook market generally is exploding in Japan, with $464 million in sales in 2008, a 131 percent growth over the previous year. The overwhelming portion — 86 percent — are read on cellphones, as opposed to computers or specific eReader platforms. (The Kindle is not available in Japanese.)”

Twitter

I don’t know how many of you have noticed that we have a Twitter account. This blog updates Twitter whenever someone makes a post. I find it handy, as I check Twitter more often than I check my email, but that’s probably because I’m a twit.

Anyway, it hasn’t been working right, and I think I’ve fixed it, but I’m making this post to find out.

This post might disappear and then reappear as I tinker with it to make sure it’s working right. Please bare with me.

Otherwise, I’m going to leave it on the blog as a reminder that the option is there should you want to use it.

Thanks!

I’ve just created a new Table (or Category) for links like this:

http://comictool.blogspot.com/

William Hernandez posted it in his LiveJournal this morning, and I thought it might be helpful to anyone coming to our blog for, well, advice!

It’s a blog that reviews, comments on and presents comic tools. It looks like a petty good mix of old and new.

Oh, and this looks like a good one too (also courtesy of William):

Anyway, you can post links that you find or questions for other members to answer here under “Advice”. Seems like a good idea.
