It's a good practical book on Unity game development and in the real world nowadays practice goes to production is very fast :) I've started to read it half a Year ago and started with several games and VR projects very fast. So the review is partial and delayed and anyway :)

[book] Zero History by William Gibson #review

Zero History [Kindle Edition] by William Gibson (Author) - Looks like this #book appeared the longest read ever for me: 2+ years %) It's pretty special and well written as usual by Gibson, no time at all and pretty complicated language are to blame I guess %) #scifi #ebook

Personal Branding #book #socialmedia #SMM

[UPDATED #1] Looks still useful and I see that articles definitely needed cleanup, updates and much more detailed info on the topic. A bit weird and anyway %) Going to work on it ‪#‎socialmedia‬

Newer version of the article is avail here on LinkedIn ;)

[UPDATED #5][#socialmedia] Twitter on Practice #article

Looks like my previous article [#socialmedia] Twitter #article appeared a kind of overview, a sneak peak not a kind of practical how to.

Here comes the second article with applied case on our new cooking portal project getitcooked.com and it's promotion naturally with Twitter too. This article is going to be the first of the series of articles about what kind of social magic we do service by service and how it can help our friends, collaborators and customers for sure.

[book] Use of Weapons (A Culture Novel Book 3) [Kindle Edition] #review

Use of Weapons (A Culture Novel Book 3) [Kindle Edition] - from the one side the worst book of the series so far, too cruel, to self-psychological as for me,

[gamedev] Unity 4 Game Development Hotshot #book #review

 

Unity 4 Game Development Hotshot is another interesting book about game development in Unity3D. In my opinion its book was written probably for developers who'd already got some minimal experience with the environment. It's not a problem and can be fixed in some hours with first steps learning.

Twitter was my first love with #socialmedia. It shown me the potential and kept the place of the favourite #socialmedia service for 3 years.

[book] Scratch 2.0 Game Development Hotshot #review

Scratch 2.0 Game Development Hotshot [eBook] - completely unexpected #book, unexpected content, unexpected way to appear. Marketing Research Executive from Packt Publishing shared the #book in out Games Gaming Gamedev community @ G+ and suggested to review.

[book] Deathworld #1 by Harry Harrison #scifi #action #review

Deathworld 1 by Harry Harrison - This #book was a milestone for sure, it wasn't the first #scifi #action for me but it was wise, active and impressive enough to kick out classic adventure literature from my brains.

[book] The Player of Games (Culture #2) by Iain M. Banks #review

Looks like Friday is becoming the day of blogger for me. I don't think that all 10 books from Culture series one by one is a good idea. I haven't read every anyway and the second is the most relevant to blog topics and brilliant as for me too.

[socialmedia] Klout #article

Looks like it's blogger day for me today. Here comes one more article scheduled 2-3 weeks ago.

It's going to be one more experiment with article format. Let's split it to theoretic part and practical howto. 

Theory
Clout may refer to political or social power. In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence the behavior of people according to Wikipedia.

[book] Consider Phlebas (Culture, #1) by Iain M. Banks #review

I have nearly no spare time at all recently and reading one #book a month, To fix the situation I've decided to review my best ever favourite #books old but still amazing.

Consider Phlebas is Culture, #1 by Iain M. Banks. It's so old that Kindle addition is not avail for affliates at Amazon, so the paper version on banner %)

Tuf Voyaging by George R.R. Martin #book #review

Very nice, funny and wise, reminds of The Star Diaries by Stanisław Lem. I liked most of all the moment that there is a very few of cruelty as for George R.R. Martin. Classical, even canonical stories remake make me eager to read the original finally :) (Read in Russian, bought on LitRes). Recommended 10/10.

Applied Social [Media] Magic #Book - SocialBro

 

I was on vacations for 2 weeks and was cleaning up my work for 2+ weeks, so find some time for the next chapter only today.

Here is draft table of contents of a my #book draftly named Applied Social [Media] Magic still considering Applied Social Magic and Social Media Magic titles. Today's topic is number 20 - SocialBro.

I'm affiliate so don't be surprised with a link.

I don't remember how I found the app and desired to try app with version 0.31 or 0.39 beta but did it and increased followers count in a Year from 1500 to 11000.

It was Air app for a desktop first then it was Chrome app and now it work in browser. Also first it was free for beta testers and then became paid. I used free version as long as possible but larger communities require faster and faster connection and synchronizations became slower and slower. With half price for a first 3 month I've went Pro.

I don't know current limitations of a free version, have to look and I think it's quite enough to start.

So what is SocialBro and even more interesting question is what is for?
