A new eMarketer report shows that the number of Baby Boomers embracing social media, especially Facebook, jumped drastically between 2008 and 2009. In its Boomers and Social Media report, eMarketer takes a look at social media adoption among different generations. Results showed that while the percentage of Millennials maintaining a social networking site profile was fairly consistent from 2007 through 2009, the same cannot be said of Baby Boomers' social media usage. According to Deloitte data, 2009 was the year that social media bloomed for Baby Boomers, with nearly 47% of them actively maintaining a profile on the social web, which is up 15% from 2008. Further driving home that 2009 was the year of the social BB is the fact that from 2007 to 2008 there was barely a measurable change — just 1% — in that demographic's adoption of social media.

 Digital Book World: Little Consensus on e-Book Pricing, Timing By Jim Milliot Although the two panels were separate sessions, there was a fair amount of overlap yesterday at Digital Book World's eBook Pricing and eBook Challenges panels, including Kobo's Michael Tamblyn who represented e-bookstores in both sessions. The overlap was due in part because it is difficult to know what to charge for an e-book when you don't know exactly when it should be released. In general, agents and publishers seemed more united over when an e-book should be released--after the print book--than what they should be priced at, while Tamblyn and others favored simultaneous release of hardcovers and e-books.

The conference, which will be keynoted by Twitter's leadership, including co-founders Biz Stone and Evan Williams, will be a two-day shindig. The first day will go over subjects such as Oauth, geolocation and business strategies, while the second day will be a 24-hour hack-a-thon for building apps and sharing ideas. There is actually a great deal of information on the quirky but rather elegant website, such as a teaser for the after party, details on the 24-hour Hack Day schedule and my personal favorite, a secret portal for creating your own Origami Chirp Bird. As a master of the ancient art of paper folding, I really appreciate this easter egg. Demand will certainly outstrip seats at this conference. Only 800 seats will be available (the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, while gorgeous, is not a large venue for a conference). The first wave of 100 tickets are now out, but require a little programming on your side — you need to use the API to find the username of user id 6253282 in order to register on Eventbrite. It'll also put you back $469. If you can't attend or don't manage to snatch up one of the 800 tickets, don't fret too much — we will be there to cover the entire thing.

 Four Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Submissions to be Published Through AmazonEncore SEATTLE, Jan 26, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced that AmazonEncore, Amazon's publishing imprint, will be introducing four new books this Spring: "Page From a Tennessee Journal" by Francine Thomas Howard; "Greyhound" by Steffan Piper; "A Cruel Harvest" by Paul Reid; and "Crossing" by Andrew Fukuda. These books were all submitted for the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest, the international contest co-sponsored by Amazon.com, CreateSpace and Penguin Group (USA) that seeks to discover the next popular novel. This is the first time AmazonEncore has published original manuscripts. The AmazonEncore editions of these forthcoming novels will be available in print format at www.amazon.com and as wireless digital downloads from the Kindle Store in less than 60 seconds. For more information on AmazonEncore and upcoming titles, visit http://www.amazon.com/encore. "Now in its third year, the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest brings in many worthy manuscripts," said Jeff Belle, Vice President, Amazon.com Books. "We've identified these four manuscripts as examples of authors whose work we think deserves a larger audience, and we're excited to help these authors find their readers." Author Francine Thomas Howard based "Page From a Tennessee Journal" on a well-guarded family secret. The debut novel is about the lives of two Southern farming families--one white, one black--and their interconnected lives set in racially oppressive Tennessee a century ago. The San Francisco Bay Area-based author left her career in pediatric occupational therapy to pursue her first love: writing. "Page From a Tennessee Journal" will be published in March 2010. Steffan Piper's "Greyhound" is set in the early '80s, and tells the story of 12-year-old Sebastien Ranes, who travels 2,000 miles across the country on a Greyhound bus, chronicling the lessons he learns and people he meets along the way. Piper, based in Los Angeles, had previously self-published one novel and three books of poetry. "Greyhound" will also be published in March 2010. "A Cruel Harvest" tells the epic tale of two young lovers who are separated in a pirate raid on their Irish fishing village and forced to face terrible danger at the hands of tyrants in order to be reunited. The novel, set in 1790, stretches from the windswept coast of Ireland to the sun-baked hills of Morocco. The author, Paul Reid, was born and raised in Cork, and lives on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Cork Harbour. "A Cruel Harvest" will be published in April 2010. Andrew Fukuda's "Crossing," a debut novel that explores the Asian-American immigrant experience in modern-day America, and exposes the day-to-day cruelty of life in high schools, was inspired by the author's time spent working with immigrant teenagers in Manhattan's Chinatown. The half-Chinese, half-Japanese Fukuda lives on Long Island, New York. "Crossing" will be published in May 2010.
