- Paul R Brown said: The auteur is key. Rather, having *exactly* one auteur is key.
- Sonja said: Ideas are kind of like this for authors too. People are ALWAYS coming up to authors and going, "Hey, I have this great idea for a book. If you write it, I'll split the royalties with you." Ha. Haha. It's all in the execution, people.

RIP: Returned Every Email (2)
on O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies (2222) permalinkI fell in love with email in 1983. I was a computer-savvy educator and children’s librarian teaching teachers about the new technologies available to them. Email came into my life, offering immediate gratification: no stamp, no trip to the post office, no phone tag, no long messages. Questions were answered quickly. Personal exchanges often felt as intimate as a written letter or a phone call, but were immediate and more frequent. Years later, in 1990, ...Shared by Mason (54) romat911 (71)
