If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you were only allotted 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Introduce a service? Teach a hack? We’re going to find out when we try our first Ignite event at TOC. Ignite presentations will take place Tuesday, 02/23/2010 at 4:00pm in the Broadway Ballroom.
We've been hearing about “Slow Food” and now “Slow Money”--models that support the local economy, minimize environmental impact, stress diversity over monoculture, and respect the relationship side of transactions. Here, I'd like to propose a way to think about "Slow Publishing".
Peter Collingridge of Enhanced Editions takes you on a whistle-stop tour of analytic tools available for the iPhone, and explains how Publishers can use this data to inform their digital strategies.
My experiences in taking my self published book from just under 1,000 print sales in a year to over 50,000 iPhone downloads in half a year.
Bibliographic ONIX data can be used for so much more than updating supply chain partners.

Software-smarts and specialized data connect e-books to each other and present their content in more useful ways to the consumer. I'll demonstrate how this value is delivered on multiple platforms to support premium pricing for our e-books.
21st century smartphones, laptops and tablets share a common platform:
the web. Ibis Reader brings ebooks to every digital reader, whether
online or offline.
