Anne Rice Releases Her First Vook (Book Plus Multimedia) Today

From GalleyCat:

Bestselling novelist Anne Rice launches her inaugural vook today, a multimedia version of her 1984 vampire story, "The Master of Rampling Gate."

To find out more, we caught up with Vook CEO Brad Inman--who said the company has more than 500 titles planned for 2010. According to Inman, the company shot between six and eight hours of footage for the Rice vook, including a New Orleans tour with her son, Rice interviews, and expert commentary.

Inman added some advice about video length: "While I think that video content and length will always depend first and foremost on the text, it seems that, generally speaking, shorter videos are better suited for our vooks. 1 to 2 minute videos are long enough to provide context or illustration to the text while still being short enough to keep the reader's attention and interest.

A Few More Notes via the Vook Blog:

+ The new Vook by Anne Rice is regularly $4.99 but for a limited time you can purchase/download for $.99 cents.

+ Additional content includes seven videos about vampires, the black plague, gothic style, and Rice herself.

+ It's for sale at the iTunes store or an online version on the Vook website.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
