I’ve been running online communities for around 8 years now, and people ask me questions about it all the time. One of the biggest questions I get is how to start a forum. I also get asked how to run a forum, best ways to manage your community, what to do when this or that happens… Every single time, I recommend the exact same thing: a book by Patrick O’Keefe- Managing Online Forums .

Last month, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that pharmaceutical companies are reducing prices and licensing AIDS drugs for free to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or local manufacturers in developing countries. Such a model made it possible for a South African doctor to develop a breakthrough vaginal gel that reduced, by half, HIV transmission in women, by using a key ingredient donated by California-based Gilead Sciences.

From the Tools of Change blog comes important information for those with disabilities: For years we’ve supplied our digital files to Bookshare , a non-profit that provides accessible reading material to the print disabled. For qualifying readers, our books are made available worldwide, and we’ve really enjoyed working with Jim Fruchterman and the Bookshare team along the way (I’m also on their Advisory Board). Although the DRM-free EPUB files in our ebook bundles are compatible with many reading systems for print disabled customers, many readers prefer the DAISY format that Bookshare provides, and either don’t qualify for access via Bookshare, or would prefer to pay for the ebooks.

I have spent the last years not making a living at being a writer; in particular the last 4 writing 2 novel manuscripts. The first went nowhere. The second may soon follow suit. For nearly all of that time I had as my credo an outlook very similar to this one , as outlined by Douglas Glover , writer (if you read the whole post, I got involved in quite an exchange with him, one that included regular Don Merritt, too): A person writes because, through writing, he comes to know himself and the world better. A person may write for money or fame or to achieve social position by posing as a writer, but these are secondary and, to some extent, inauthentic motives that often result in inauthentic and second-rate writing

There are so many ways by which you can remotely access your computer files over the Internet but the service that I am currently in love with is ZumoCast – simple, elegant and it’s free to use without any limitations. With ZumoCast installed, you don’t ever have to upload your desktop files to the cloud but you’ll still be able to access them from other computers or your iOS devices. To get started, just install the ZumoCast client on your Windows or Mac computer and select the folders on your desktop that you would like to access remotely.
