Entry: Crossing t's, dotting i's Wednesday, June 09, 2004



I have a lot to do for this course....and that only in two weeks. I'm working very hard on that late h20 assignment about branding and sites, but John Kerry's blog is taking up a lot of time (only because I'm interested in it). I'm hoping to finish the entire assignment friday.

Next to that I have been giving my paper a lot of thought. I'm sticking with Nationstates and how online games and the selling of books interrelate. I actually wanted to focus more broadly on how books are advertised on the net and use Nationstates as one of many examples, but I prefer to just discuss Nationstates since I think it is quite unique in the book advertising business. Especially since Max Barry came up with the idea himself, instead of some PR-crew surrounding him or the publisher.

About the literature...I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of Angela McRobbie's piece in Cultura; Economy because she partly focuses on a new wave of independent workers. Furthermore I will use sources about online gaming, book advertising and maybe a bit of viral marketing.

I will try to make a appointment with Shenja as quick as possible.
