275 authors band together for Age of Conversation 2

Following the success of our recent assault on the Amazon sales charts, the Age of Conversation team is now busy working towards a second book. The new one is tentatively titled, Age of Conversation, Why don't people get it? and this time it combines the talent and advice of 275 of the worlds best marketers, thinkers and advertising writers.

The only relevance to the book has to this blog is that I am once again honored to be one of the authors in this innovative publishing exercise.

Meet the rest of the authors here:

Published and listed on Amazon

In 2007, more than 100 authors - from 10 countries and four continents - joined forces to write The Age of Conversation, a book about emerging media and marketing.  I was one of those co-authors.

Social Computing Magazine called it an “e-blockbuster.” Business Week said “Little did we know that social media would soon begin to tie us together digitally in ways that we are only just now beginning to understand. That’s why a new book called The Age of Conversation may be important to comprehending what’s going on in our society, economy and even polity today.”

If you don’t own a copy of the original, please consider ordering one from March 29 from this Amazon link. Dozens of bloggers around the net are promoting that purchase date in order to push the book up the Amazon charts. As a reminder, all book proceeds go to Variety, the children’s charity.

Being published was one of the goals I wrote about on my life-list last year. This effort was to contribute one chapter to the book and I will be doing so again soon in the 2008 version of Age of Conversation. But I still intend to have my own book published and am steadily making plans to do do so.

Meanwhile the team-effort continues with my fellow AoC authors.

Making the most of your freedom

Most of us go through life feeling imprisoned by our jobs, businesses or personal circumstances. I have been fortunate enough to learn that life doesn't need to be that way. I started 2007 with a desire to reduce my workload, increase my income and gain more personal freedom to pursue the areas of my life which interest me the most.

Just One Post

I just came across this post at Seth Godin's legendary blog.
It is a good explanation of the power of why people blog or publish their thoughts. I have thus far found this process very exciting. It helps me commit my ideas and thoughts and dreams to paper (or pc), providing clarity and impetus to keep developing these concepts.

But here what Seth has to say:
