The Rolling Stones Put Out An App: The Stones have just put out an official app. And according to the New York Times the app was “developed with the involvement of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood” so it ought to be quite good as the boys know a thing or two about rock n’ roll! As you would expect the app relays information and news about the band and also allows fans to see where the band is playing on its current tour – and to purchase tickets accordingly.

The brief article regarding the app is from the New York Times Media Decoder blog – here’s the link:

    1. I certainly prefer to read my news online whether I’m reading on my PC at work, my Mac at home or on my iPad. However, some people still prefer the printed word delivered via newspapers. And I think they may have to pick up an e-reader or tablet in the near future if the want to read news as I do think newspapers in their physical form are in the twilight of their age.

      And as a librarians I am aware of what we deem — in library land — the visible and invisible web — and the difference between the two (which is basically that you (or your library) have to pay for access to some of the best sites that offer information online. So I know where you are coming from with the idea that all news and information is online; however, although I agree we’re moving in that direction I don’t think were 100% worth of there just yet! Thanks for reading our library tech blog!

  1. I believe what you posted made a great deal of sense.
    However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer post title?
    I ain’t suggesting your information is not good, but what if you added something that makes people desire more? I mean CNET & Amazon Report On Great Black Friday Tech Deals & The Rolling Stones Put Out An App | Tech Talk at SSCL is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo’s home
    page and watch how they create article titles to get viewers to click.
    You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab
    readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
