WTF?!?!?!

soupsoup:

cajunboy:

So Nick Douglas is getting a five-figure book deal from Harper Collins to put together a collection of Tweets POSTED BY PEOPLE NOT NAMED NICK DOUGLAS?!?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Well, you see kids…this here defines the difference between Twitter and Tumblr. When you regurgitate someone else’s material on Tumblr, it’s called reblogging. When you approach an savvy agent (this has Kate Lee written all over it) with an idea to do the same thing with other people’sTwitter posts, you get a book deal. But hey…tip of the hat to Nick Douglas for pitching the idea.

However, this has to be frought with potential copyright legal issues, right? Maybe I should go back and read my Twitter TOS agreement.

I’m going to get a book deal combining all three into one book.
