To take advantage of these new tools, publishers, authors, and marketers need to segment who their audience is, and how and where they engage with social media online. Once niche platforms are identified, whether it’s through Facebook, iPhone or Twitter, content needs to be properly scaled for those mediums to engage with the people who spend hours each day sharing and reviewing their favorite books. Lastly, delivering a simple message through the right vehicles will lead to explosive viral growth among book-lovers, generating increased web traffic, and ultimately move the needle with sales.

In the coming years, will those words also haunt publishers? This panel starts from an (almost) undisputed point of view: at the turn of the millennium, a handshake away from a landmark deal with pioneering P2P music-sharing site Napster that would have kept the service’s 40-million users downloading, the record industry blew it. Of course, it’s not quite that simple.

“The record companies needed to jump off a cliff,” Hilary Rosen, then CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, told Rolling Stone of that seminal moment in the industry’s history, “and they couldn’t bring themselves to jump.”

Panelists address whether a similar cliff may be looming for publishers, what lessons we can take away from the music industry experience, and how, in the age of Google, YouTube, iPhones, Blackberries and social networks, publishers and authors can better position themselves to take advantage of—rather than be overtaken by—the power of the Internet.

This panel was the first US adaptation. Seven presenters who are at the forefront of what is exciting in publishing now were given seven minutes each to present their stories to the crowd. Their presentations were accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation of 20 slides, with a strict 21-second limit per slide, which forced the presenter to keep the presentation moving forward quickly. The guidelines for what they discussed were left wide open, in order to encourage a wide range of topics and styles of presentation throughout the panel.
