I just had the absolute pleasure of interviewing or more so conversing with Daria Kempka, Web producer at Marquette University. Well this happened about three days ago but thats not the point here.  Daria has a little over eleven years of experience in web and multimedia development as well as   web marketing and multimedia landscape.Though I veered off what we were supposed to be talking about, she was gracious throughout the time we spent talking. In the process of developing an app for Marquette University,Daria has been exposed to mobile web along with its challenges and  and she mentioned her thoughts on the growth of mobile web and her belief that it would grow even more than it already has recently. Since we have talked about the growth and future growth of the mobile web, I was not surprised to hear that. She believed that it might grow even stronger. She was fascinated by the sameness of what happened about eleven years ago when she started her career in web development and what was happening now with the growth of mobile web. She felt that the same questions that were asked then are what are being asked now with the growth of technology and the different applications that have been developed. Daria felt that with technology, easier ways have been developed which has enabled more to be done Daria also mentioned that she believe tablets would have a stronger edge over laptops should a way be found for one to be able to connect to a server remotely.  All in all a great interview with Daria!
 
This is a follow up to the previous blog about e-book pricing.  A New York Times reported that the Justice Department charged Apple and five of the largest book publishers with an antitrust lawsuit, alleging that there was a collusion to raise the price of e-books. Read to get more information from the above article about what this could mean for consumers and the price of e-books.
 
When I saw this article, I remembered Robyn's book presentation where she mentioned a couple of applications one can use to on thier LinkedIn profile to make the most out of LinkedIn.
Since it's pretty obivous that e-books are here to stay and captilizing on that is only right, Amazon released its latest update , 6.3 Fire software version, for the Kindle Fire. This allows device owners to share their favorite passages and notes from their ebooks on Facebook and Twitter, fulfilling Amazon's aim of bringing the sharing and conversation of books online. 
This proves to me that Amazon is no slouch in the tablet arena. Unless I'm mistaken, this is something new. Amazon's aim of making the Kindle Fire more social is of course brilliant since social media and anything social is the rage right now and probably will be for some time. Since most consumers are all about sharing in this day and age, this update would arguably be used to its best potential, especially for avid book readers.
If I owned a Kindle Fire, I would probably be the first to use it, if i could find time to read at all this semester!
