Google Now Displays Author Names In Search Results
2011-07-04 06:06:00 Amidst all the news about Google+, the search giant has pushed a major change to search results. It now highlights the people who create content that shows up in searches. Google now allows content creators to tie their Google profiles with their content in searches. This is a huge plus (yeah I used plus) to content creators since search results will add more credibility to links and hence drive in more traffic. In a blog post Google said: Authorship is a great way to identify and highlight high-quality content. Plus, the web is centered around people. People discovering content on the web often want to learn more about its author, see other content by that author, and even interact with the author. Google has explained the technical details of linking your profile with your site on this help center page. Expect WordPress, Blogger, Posterous, Tumblr and other publishing sites to include a provision for this very soon. Of course what Google didn’t include was a provision t...

Physician Author: Terrorism Short Story
2011-01-10 11:01:00 One of the things that I have always wanted to do is to highlight docs doing interesting stuff away from the job. Recently, I was in our local emergency room (the people "in the biz" and the cool kids call it the emergency department), talking to one of the docs. He is a veteran of the war in Iraq and wrote a short story with an interesting premise. It's pretty obvious that the United States is pretty dependent on energy like electricity. What would happen if terrorists attacked the energy grid of this country? What would be the impact of such an action? How easy would it be to do? Well, this doc has written a fictional story about how possibly this could be done. The story is entitled "1111" which means the date of January 1, 2011. The story begins on the day before. It's definitely an interesting read (read below or click here). In the video above, there is an interview with the doc on our local terrestrial radio station. It's really interesting listening him tell the "story ...

Today we’re introducing a new panel to your stats page, Top Authors. Here’s how it works: all the posts that were visited during the day are counted up, divided by who wrote them.

Author wants readers to make a "MESS" of her book
2010-09-13 15:00:00 Anyone who has ever borrowed a book from me knows what a stickler I am for their care. I am so protective of them, I always make sure the covers of my paperbacks never get creased and that the spines stay intact. Look at the books on my shelf and you'd think I haven't even read them. But nope, I'm just anal about keeping them in good condition.It's that sort of attitude towards books that author Keri Smith is trying to do away with. Pick up a copy of her new book "MESS" and you'll be encouraged to write on the pages, spill things and pretty much have your way with the book. But why would a writer want her...

The Author-Reader Relationship: An Existential View of Personal Blogs in Cy
2010-08-23 04:29:00 On this special occasion and landmark of my blog - it is the centennial entry - I would like to point out the importance of the reader in this blogger relationship. Without the reader, the blog would not exist. The purpose of blogs, its raison d`etre, is to have a readership following its posts. Of course, it is also beneficial for the author to gain personal satisfaction by simply producing articles and by honing one`s craft, but it is published in cyberspace for the main reason of being read and possibly commented upon.Some writers say they do not care about readership and are validated by the art of writing itself. That may be so, but it seems a contradiction in existential terms. Even if you produce a text for your eyes only, you are indeed a reader yourself. A text cannot exist without its reader; otherwise it is no different from a blank sheet of paper.Similarly, a person cannot live, or rather exist, without a social context. For existence, we need the other to confirm our e...

I Interview David Masciotra, Author of "Working on a Dream"
2010-08-03 13:22:00 While book-touring around Chicago, I kept discovering I was making appearances on the heels of a guy named David Masciotra who'd written the book "Working on a Dream: The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen." I was pissed off at this Masciotra guy because this was pretty much the exact idea I had for a book I was going to write someday. I've been a hopelessly dedicated, outspoken Springsteen fan ever since high school when I first heard the eerie, plaintive howl of "The River" and stared at my car's CD player because I felt like he was talking about my hometown. I've long maintained that Bruce Springsteen is probably one of the greatest American writers (not "songwriters") alive,...
'Hoodwinked' author John Perkins saves Mr. Media from the economic hit men
2010-05-25 20:33:00 Cover via Amazon By BOB ANDELMAN Forget Stephen King novels. If you want some really scary bedtime reading, I?m going to recommend John Perkins new non-fiction book, Hoodwinked. It?ll leave you afraid to turn off the lights at night. Hoodwinked is the sequel to Perkins? previous book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, and it is an eyes wide awakener. You?ll feel like you?ve been living in La-La Land all your life after reading the no-bullshit revelations about how the world?s corporatocracy really operates. You might also feel like taking a long, hot shower because learning how American businesses really operate around the world is more alarming than any Oliver Stone paranoid cinematic fantasy. It?s almost too wild a tale; it would be easier to believe if the book was just one story of naked greed and ambition, but Hoodwinked is page after page of ugly Americanism. John Perkins Website ?

You will not wanna be sedated before finishing 'I Slept with Joey Ramone'
2010-05-24 15:14:00 Cover via Amazon By BOB ANDELMAN Joey Ramone wasn?t really Joey Ramone. Most people know that the ?Ramones? name was for the stage, although few sought out and became their stage persona more completely than the former Jeffry Hyman, a spindly, troubled boy from Queens. If you?re a Ramones fan?or just fascinated with stories of familial disfunction?you?re going to find the new book, I Slept With Joey Ramone: A Family Memoir, an irresistible attraction. The story was written by Joey?s younger brother, Mitchell Hyman, a.k.a. Mickey Leigh, with help from Legs McNeil, a long-time friend of both brothers and the author of the classic music history, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored History of Punk. Legs, today making his second appearance on Mr. Media, got to know Joey and Mickey in the late ?70s when he and John Holmstrom co-founded the legendary Punk magazine. I got to know Legs through his later contributions to Spin magazine. His writing always comes with a twist; he?s never dull. L...

2010-05-04 19:06:00 By BOB ANDELMAN If you?re a pro or college football fan and you haven?t yet read Pete Williams? landmark investigation of the NFL draft?simply titled, The Draft?you?re not quite the fan you think you are. Williams went behind the scenes not just of draft day but of the entire process, interviewing pro scouts, coaches and GMs as well as college coaches, highly touted players and their agents to produce an incredibly revealing portrait of how things really work in the land of million-dollar bonus babies. If that?s all Williams ever produced, it would be a pretty good career of which to boast. But he?s also written five Core Performance books with Phoenix-Arizona-based athletic trainer Mark Verstegen, the latest of which is Core Performance Women. Pete Williams Website ? Blog ? Facebook ?

Fan Starts Petition for Chicago Author to Appear on 'The Daily Show&ap

"On-Line Petition a Game-Changer for Markley, Stewart, Internet, Western Culture" "Markley to Stewart: 'I'll See You in Hell!'" That last one actually has no relevance to the on-line petition started by Vancouver resident Jovian Francey, for Chicago author, me, to appear on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" to promote my new book "Publish This Book: The Unbelievable True Story of How I Wrote, Sold and Published This Very Book."
