Gleanings: Lit Mags, Soft Drinks, Clerks and The Safety Dance
- I don’t know or read Jeff Jarvis so this isn’t geek loyalty talking but I wonder if the PR industry has any idea how stupid they look when this happens. Memo: There is no “controlling the message” anymore. The Internet is bigger than you will ever be. The goal now is to host the conversation not dictate it.
Update: “Amanda” is a sham (via Susan Mernit).
- I’m not sure I would read a soft drink blog but I’m sure someone would (via Matt Haughey).
- Mental Floss magazine has relaunched their website. Looks fantastic.
- I love me some Safety Dance but I almost love this interpretation of it more.
- Where precisely is the joy in running a literary magazine? Good question (via Arts Journal).
- Playland Not By the Beach is an old fashioned amusement center opening in the Bay Area this fall. It’s like my dream come true. I can’t wait.
- Clerks 2 opens this weekend. My generation rises.
