Perhaps trying to grab back the headlines from the Nook, Amazon has killed off the US Kindle, and cuts the price of the International Kindle.

So the second gate is finally opened last Friday.
The feeling was more of a relief than happy. Partly because it took longer than expected, the few months delay were really painful, and partly because I know the actual work starts now. I remember reading somewhere about asking soldiers which part of the war they hated most, and most of them said it is the waiting before the combat starts that they hated.
The tedious and painful learning process starts now. Mistakes will be made along the way, bad decisions will be made, I just hope that I learn something from all this, and the cost that I have to pay for the lessons learn will not be too much to pay for.
So I just need to take in a deep breath, grit my teeth and say, ‘Bring it on!’

The past two days clearly demonstrated to me the influence of Twitter.
Jan Moir wrote an article for the Daily Mail on the death of Stephen Gately. The former Boyzone member had died in his sleep, and basically she was bashing him because he was gay. The article was originally titled, ‘Why there was nothing ‘natural’ about Stephen Gately’s death.’, but has since been changed to ‘A strange, lonely and troubling death.’
It was picked up by Stephen Fry, with a huge Twitter following. And before long, it received worldwide attention. So much so that Moir had to issue a statement to say that she was the target of an orchestrated campaign. Ads were withdraw from Moir’s online article and more than 1,000 complains were lodged with the Press Complaints Commission.
Such is the impact of Twitter.
More articles on this :
Why there was nothing ‘human’ about Jan Moir’s column on the death of Stephen Gately
Jan Moir of the Daily Mail speaks out after Gately uproar
And the article that caused it the uproar : Why there was nothing ‘natural’ about Stephen Gately’s death.
