Blurb
I came across Blurb today - its another step toward the democratization of media.
Blurb allows you to create your own book with software you download from their website. Upload your book to your Blurb account and you can publish as many books as you want whenever you want. A cool addition to the concept is that every book they publish is available for purchase on their website. I guess this is their answer to the publisher's duty to market the books they print.
Mostly this just seems like a lot of fun to me, but it could potentially have some interesting applications. It doesn't seem like the best way to become well-known, but for people (bloggers, photographers, My-Spacers, &c) who already have online audiences, this looks like another great form of self-promotion.
