I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.

Half of the top ten selling works of fiction in the first six months of 2007 were composed on mobile phones... Mobile phone novels... have become a publishing phenomenon in Japan, “turning middle-of-the-road publishing houses into major concerns."

"The company continues to lead in the blogging and social media industry with the Movable Type Publishing Platform, the TypePad hosted blogging service, and Vox, a free blogging service for friends and families."
An update on my post about online magazines and the new Movabletype charges... The folks at MT have listened to all the feedback and implemented new policies which are much more sensitive to the needs (and resources) of small nonprofit and community groups. It's really good news for all the independent publishing happening via blogs. Look for my "powered by" symbol to change to the new 3.0 version as soon as I install it.
MovableType, the wonderful "blogging" software that's behind both Martin Kelley Quaker Ranter site and Nonviolence.org, has recently decided to start charging for their software. Fair enough, but they're been a lot of hubbub about their pricing structure. The creators have asked for feedback on how people use Movable Type.
