Daily Links for Thursday, December 15,  2016:

Information Overload (Pew Research Center) Do you believe that only 20% say they are affected by information overload? That figure sounds low to me….

Twitter app adds livestreaming video, start broadcasting from the tweet compose screen (9 to 5 Google) It was inevitable. Twitter now had live video (without a separate app)..

AT&T’s DirecTV Now plagued with outages and sports blackouts (Ars Technica) Lots of reports of bugs and inconsistencies. Maybe they should have beta tested a little more.

(A note on Daily Deals: All prices current at the time of posting and subject to change. Most items marked Daily Deals are good for only the day posted.

Many large promotions have discount pricing that is set by the publisher. This usually means that titles can be found at a discount price across most platforms (with iTunes sometimes being the exception). If you have a favorite retailer you like to patronize, check the title on that website. There is a good chance that they will be matching the sale price.)

Daily Links are interesting links I discover as I go about my online day. The frequency and number of links posted depend upon the daily news. I also post other, different links of interest on Twitter, Facebook, and on the Google Plus eBook Evangelist Page.
