Google’s AI overview is so laughably bad it’s making the search engine completely unusable. It’s pushing me to chatGPT which I don’t want to use regularly. @alphabetinc.bsky.social

This is terrifying, for journalism, a free press and democracy. Wish I could support Ron Charles book column and ditch the rest.

Also should I be using hashtags here or not?
I feel like I should know this but if I preorder an audiobook on @libro.fm does that pre-order help the author the way pre-orders are supposed to? For Neilson or rankings? #authors #publishing #preorder

Found this PW article on where the online kid lit community is going post x, post meta interesting and hopeful!
social media platforms are basically burning themselves down and i talked to #kidlit professionals about finding the next best digital water cooler for fostering community (a hint: you might be on it rn) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
Where Is the Kid Lit Community Online?
As social media communities splinter, authors and publishers wonder where their next digital water cooler will be.

Well my twitter/x account was hacked and then deleted, and they offer no tech support for that apparently, so that was the last nail in that coffin!

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:

1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!
The thing about pre-orders: If you pre-order thru an indie bookstore (which generally doesn't cost you up-front!) it is HUGE for the lifeblood of the book, it is a boost to authors, the publisher, and the booksellers who steward this life. It's a little thing but it's meaningful should this inspire!

Since there are a lot of new people here: I will point out once again that Paul Singer, the billionaire who owns Barnes & Noble and Waterstones, donated $5m to a MAGA SuperPAC earlier this year, and that’s the money we know about.
