Mr. Obie Joe is willing to bet that many publicists are well on the vanguard of fighting Alzheimer's Disease. If remembering sets of numbers and letters, repeatedly, yet without connection, is a memory booster, than any publicist even lightly enmeshed in online publicity is covered.
Just this week Mr. Obie Joe and the missus calculated the number of usernames and passwords for our clients needed for sites like Amazon; Shelfari; MySpace; FaceBook; B&N; and the numerous other author blogs and web sites.
About 45. Is it any wonder why the password of "abc123" is so popular?
Because book marketing should include schemes beyond techniques reserved for selling a box of cereal.

Readers and myspace users
Social networking sites -- myspace, facebook, livejournal -- intrigue us as a place for marketing books. Except....has anyone taken a deep look as to how prolific users of these sites find the books they read? Do they read more or less than the average population?
We ask this because we're still sorting out the worth of starting a myspace page for our authors. Is a myspace page just a formality-- mark your territory -- but not a necessity in marketing your book online?
We still maintain the greatest attractant is a really well written, often updated, and sharp looking web site or blog for a book.
