And so someone tells me ... and tells me again.

I'm told people won't click on ordinary links ... by someone who should know. I'm told that people *will* click and watch if they see a tube thingie in front of them. How about that?

So: here's the first of the Buzzy Multimedia interview segments that you may not have watched yet, the rest will follow over time, tubed right on your screen here:

Do feel free to pass this on to friends, neighbors,librarians, science fiction fans and convention committees, comic and game geeks; also to grant and literary award groups, bookstore owners and workers, and maybe to publishers in France, Spain, Japan, China, and India; perhaps even to high school teachers and college creative writing professors, and folks from Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, the Maine Festival of the Book, and your favorite blogger. BTW -- if you fall into one of those groups above or forward this to someone in one of those groups above, please feel free to drop a note here, just because.

It used to be said that, when it came to PR, "ink is ink" and I wonder now if that's become "links is links?" Gah, is there a good way to say "tubes is tubes"?

As a data point[1], I am more likely to click on a link. And even more likely to click on a cut-tag -- I'm a cat, if it's in plain sight I'll ignore it but if someone trys to hide it I'll go out of my way to get inside *g*...

[1] Or should it be datum? A point is singular, but if it is considered as "a point out of the mass of data" then the plural for data is correct. Hmm...
