Does paying by tweets really let some software update my profile and post tweets for me? That seems incredibly intrusive and hard to believe. Is there another explanation?
No—-it just utilizes the Twitter (or Facebook) API, so there’s nothing sketchy going on in the back end. It’s no different than sharing a link, really.

[…] I’m drawing on four books in this class, and am supplementing them with a number of other readings.The first book, recommended to me by the aforementioned Matt Battles, is A History of the Book in America: Volume III: The Industrial Book, 1840-1880.It’s a collection of essays written by prominent historians that deal with various aspects of book culture in the United States in the 19th century. It covers some great subject areas. The second book is A Short History of the Printed Word, by Warren Chappell and Robert Bringhurst. The great thing about this book is that it tackles printing from a technological perspective, talking about the evolution of print from the 1400′s to the present. It does a good job of showing that printing has changed over the centuries; it isn’t a single, static thing that’s now getting replaced by computers. The third book is The Late Age of Print: Everyday Book Culture From Consumerism to Control, by Ted Striphas. Striphas does a nice job of countering some of the techno-determinism present in many proclamations about the digital age, discussing how books and the book industry actually operate in the early 21st century. He’s also got a great blog, which I’m thinking will be just as valuable for the class as the book is (which, by the way, you can actually download in Creative Commons format here). […]
love the idea. love the cover! wanted to find out if i love the book too, but it didn’t work. tried with safari and again with chrome. nothing. now what? any idea what to do – rather than boring my friends with another facebook post about how the download didn’t happen? thanks.

Great! It worked! I downloaded it and I look forward to giving it a read. Thanks Ted!
Great to hear, Jesse! Enjoy the book, and thx for the mention on Facebook.
Really like the idea here. But the chances I’m going to run a downloader as an executable? Very close to zero.
Not exactly clear on what the issue is here, Alex. Once you tweet/post, the PDF should begin downloading immediately.

I downloaded all 256 pages without a problem. Thanks Ted. Once I’ve read it I’ll post my review.
The download didn’t work. Nothing.
Try again with a different web browser. This occasionally happens. Stick with it; it should work.
love the idea. love the cover! wanted to find out if i love the book too, but it didn’t work. tried with safari and again with chrome. nothing. now what? any idea what to do – rather than boring my friends with another facebook post about how the download didn’t happen? thanks.
Try closing your browser, or try a different browser. That usually works.
Had no trouble with the download — looking forward to reading! Thanks very much, great idea.
Great hearing from you, and thanks for the positive feedback! Hope you enjoy the read.
This is cool, thank you. Is there an Epub version out there? I’d like to convert it for my Kindle.
noooo…not available any more :'(
