This year's "Virtual Book Tour" has kicked off:
In a nutshell, a Virtual Book Tour consists of an author "stopping" at a given number of websites in a given about of time, either to be interviewed, to take over the site for a day, to hang out with the site owner if they're in the same physical location etc. It's just like a traditional book tour except the cities are websites. The author never needs to live their living room, which makes it cheaper and easier than booking flights, hotel rooms, rental cars and all that jazz.
