Morning Coffee – 21 November 2018
Here are a few stories to read this Wednesday morning, but first I have a request.
If you see this site mentioned in a podcast or on a blog, can you please take a moment to let me know. I am trying to understand just how far my posts travel, and Google is not as good at this kind of thing as it used to be. (I used to be able to get this info automatically, but the tech no longer works that way.) Thanks!.
- Ingram’s Lightning Source turns 20.
- The New B&N on Staten Island looks more like a coffee shop than a bookstore.
- Carolyn Haley delves into copyright and plagiarism.
- Apple users are at risk as a result of how Safari displays the Latin letter "dum".
- Here’s a fascinating list of false assumptions programmers have made about – well, everything.
- The rise and fall of the crowd-sourced news site WikiTribune.

>Google is not as good at this kind of thing as it used to be
Did you not get the memo years ago? This is due to privacy concerns. I can no longer tell why I’m getting traffic at all. Add to that the bastards who post links in password-required forums or subscription sites and I’m totally in the dark. Now I know how others feel who are shut out of analytics from Big Tech.

Hey there! You got 2 mentions on this week’s Sell More Books Show podcast. One just of your name and a quote and another story pulled from this website. HTH!

It is too bad WikiTribune didn’t make it. It seemed nice but it had too many flaws.
