As I come to the end of another week of travelling, I was amused by the latest addition to Dan O’Connor’s Department of Neologisms, the noun ‘Scrobbleizer’ , which is apparently a tool that automatically creates a list of your favourite well-paid corporate bloggers. God forbid that I should ever be scrobbleized.

In other news I was interested to read this by blogger Robert Nagle on the attractions, and disattractions, of the current crop of eReaders, focusing on the Sony device.

And finally, despite the initial sensation of shabbiness that attached itself to me after the Google heist at Bookexpo on Friday, I have been buoyed by the support of the blogging community, for example in the comments on this blog here, as well as here and here. Although I have to admit I haven’t Scrobbleized them yet.

PS. Just found this link on The Register with 24 comments to date, mostly, but not all, supportive. One guy wants me to be banned from the USA for the crime. It could be worse.
