Iphone: more books than apps, more spam than ever
John Herman at Gizmodo writes an article informing us that in Apple Appstore in october the number of books released was bigger than applications, though is increasing the number of people spamming or releasing same copies of public domain books (full article at http://gizmodo.com/5395396/iphone-ebooks-the-new-fart-apps).
I agree on everything said. Selling crappy versions of public domain books is easy, costless and could get some cash.
I’m surprised that Apple authorizes this.
Though I’m quite convinced that if books will be sold on App store with a kindle like approach and with App store prices, this would be a great channel for selling.

Email and men, who’s mastering who
Paul Sloane at Stepcase Lifehack writes an article on 10 things that help in mastering email and not being mastered (full article at http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/make-email-your-servant-not-your-master.html).
I really agree on things written (from start to end), especially when Paul hints to synchronize mobile and desktop worlds.
I only add a bit to this: avoid “noise” and take time to respond to the real adressee. I receive maybe lot of emails a day and most of them are not for me, but someone who decided to “reply to all”. If each one of us avoids this behaviour, we would live more easily in our inbox.
But the most important outcome is that could be sad but it’s true, email is not our work, is ONLY a tool.
I work for a multinational company and I see every day the email being abused: people don’t talk anymore, they write. Quite real time, with all associated risks of wrong or partially wrong understanding.
Not to count IM and similar tools.
This doesn’t mean email is not to be used, but,many times should not be abused.
