B. Traven and social media

The creative person should have no other biography than his works. B. Traven

How is that working for him in today's social media environment?

• B. Traven has an official website – http://www.btraven.com/english/about.html.
• Here is his Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/pages/B-Traven/112166092128826.
• This is the Twitter page - https://twitter.com/#!/btraven (Here he is in the guise of Kenneth Sean Glade.)
• How about the blog? - http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/author/b-traven/

Today B. Traven's publisher would be working to own and manage all the above web pages to consolidate and and control the marketing of his “brand.” Speaking to us, the buying public, in a single voice.

Traven's various “beards” (aka agents) would probably have their own Internet platforms and plaster us with all kinds of insipid Tweets and posts. (Well, they are just “beards,” not B. Traven.)

The one thing that you can be sure of is B. Traven would be using a Tor browser.

I am not a Travenologist. What I know about B. Traven you can find here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Traven and here - http://www.btraven.com/english/about.html. I must admit that I do agree with the opening quote.
