I&#8217;m reading this piece that reviews and promotes a book it touts as &#8220;the leading example of this transmedia phenomenon is the born-digital story.&#8221; Really?

		<title>Collecting the Collective</title>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If you&#8217;re not prepared to be wrong, you&#8217;ll never come up with anything original.&#8221; Used to be, when we were wrong, only a few people knew about.

		<title>Mirror, Mirror on the Wall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mirror, mirror, on the wall&#8230; who&#8217;s the fail-est of them all? OK, don&#8217;t answer that. I&#8217;m afraid of the answer.&#8221; As I look into my digital competency mirror, I still wince as I notice all the areas that still need work.
