    Book proposal published

    Shel Israel just published the first draft of our book proposal. So, what do you think?

    I like it a lot and will chew on it a bit over the next 24 hours to see if I can improve it at all.

    Where is it too broad? Too narrow? Does it make you interested in the book or does it make you run away screaming?

    One thing is that this book will change direction over time as we learn how to use blogs for building a project. That's something that the blogosphere doesn't usually talk about since it isn't the sexy use of blogs.

    Also, who knows, over the next six months there probably will be some dramatic news for the blogosphere. Last week's opening of MSN Spaces isn't the last chapter. I'm guessing that it's an early chapter in a rapidly evolving space.

    Thanks Shel for this great start. I'm excited. This is the book I'm excited about and I'm glad you pitched me on this crazy project. Can't wait to see how this evolves.

You can't just play the odds and do the textbook-correct responses, you have to adapt and anticipate your opponent's moves. The game is merely a medium through which you play against the other player. Some players develop skills in planning, while others develop theirRolex Replica at improvisation Replica Rolexadapting to any situation they are thrown into. I learned first hand that when all seems lost, if you push, push, push and never give up, it's still possible to win. ss

    Got this lead thru Dan Gillmor's blog. Great idea and I will enjoy following along. I'm a teacher who has also had much work in sales. I posted at your co-author's blog, and wish to let you both know that I am interested if your work will include the public sector and non-profits as well as typical businesses and corporations. In the field of assistive technology, I find I need all my past experience teaching, in sales and marketing, AND in the efficient use of the Internet to develop our programs. I have been researching blogs about disability and find that they are very helpful to provide insight and experience in another source than the vendor's information. Good wishes to you both and to all who help this project along.

    I'll comment directly on the proposal over at Shel's blog but some comments on how you might consider using blogs for your project.

    First - the critical difference between blogs and a book (or any other project deliverable) is editing. Editing. Editing.

    That is - summarizing, cohering, structuring and organizing the contents drafts plus comments that are posted over time.

    You may want to look at what Douglas Rushkoff did with his open source novel, Exit Strategy. (it was hosted on Yahoo! Internet Life - but is now offline) He incorporated readers comments directly into the book in the form of footnotes - not unlike comments to posted pages.

    One thought that this suggests:

    - could you print the book with "print" versions of comments - i.e. post chapters, solicit comments and then include some of the comments (potentially even ones that offered a different perspective/opinion) as comments in the text of the book itself? (probably formatted as footnotes - but sidenotes might work well)
