RE: New forms of publishing

Wow. The physical book remains the same but the content can 
change -- a word (or in this case a page) at a time. What level 
of FRBR is that? How do you catalog it? How do you index it? How 
do you catch a wave upon the sand....

Thanks for pointing it out.

For those interested in some new experiments in publishing, 
things that get us far beyond most of what we think of today as 
scholarly communications, you may wish to look at this embedded 
video:

In Brazil a competitor to Amazon decided to come up with a new
kind of book, one based on user interactivity and the aggregation
of select Twitter feeds. The emphasis is on consumer activity,
but there is a reference to academic possibilities.
