Like Tom Cruise in Magnolia, or, Twitter will not save Publishing

One of my two speeches at Book Expo America, characterized by one Twitterer as being like Tom Cruise in Magnolia. (Compliment? Not sure…) My most quoted sentence, at least on Twitter, from this seven minutes is “Twitter will not save publishing.”

And, yes, believe me, I know there should be essays galore here, they really are coming, I’ve had all kinds of other writing projects going on with more vigorous deadlines. But that’s what RSS feeds are for, right, laggards like me?
