I had a lot of fun discussing with you about blogging going mobile and whether we as bloggers are really adapting as well as we could.  If you haven’t read it yet I’d love to discuss it with you! It’s called “Can Blogging Survive in a Mobile World?”

    Fun wrap up. I had no idea Shannon Hale wrote another book. I’ve been so out of the book world. Sigh! I missed you Mobile world post but I will say I read and comment on blogs from my phone all the time out of convenience. It’s getting easier and easier.
