Congrads on completing the writing. You have made such an impact on the whole WWD crowd, the promotion thingy should be a cinch! Anne, cant wait to read ‘Connect’. Congrads on completing the writing.

I loved this post, and it makes me want to read the book (ditto on the Wishlist--great link!) It's amazing the tricks some part of us uses to isolate. I for one get LOTS out of Tweets that arise from darkness and worry, especially when the Tweeter also has an active life, which you clearly do. That's the mystery for me--how things can get done even in the very midst of doubt. Every time I see it happening in someone else, I take heart. I am in the same category as a friend of mine who likes to say, "If I'm breathing, I'm worried." Thank god we're all still breathing here! So THAT’s why my Twitter stream has been Z-deprived lately!

I don't twitter yet, but I am about to take the plunge. Because I just have TOO DARNED MUCH FREE TIME. Chris M., excellent idea about Amazon, I will run and do that. The book sounds terrific, and I empathize with you--I am so glad I don't write books any more. I turn into a rambling, shuffling bag lady with a personality disorder. Not a cute one like Lily Tomlin, either. I’m so jazzed you’re liking the blog! I don’t twitter yet, but I am about to take the plunge. Because I just have TOO DARNED MUCH FREE TIME.

Would love to take advantage of the Chris Brogan promotion/inspiration machine. Scott: yes, it'd be great to have the bigco perspective, as I've woven in many tips about how to web work from within the enterprise. Chris M.: You're awesome, thanks! And you make me feel awesome too. Looking forward to hear what you think of the book, but be gentle on me. Rick: yes, it's the journey. And the journey continues, but I'm glad the writing part of it is about over. Chris B.: I am holding you to that! Would love to take advantage of the Chris Brogan promotion/inspiration machine.

I'll even buy it at Amazon to help boost ranking. Second, I understand very well the urge not to tweet. I limit myself to 1-2 per day, otherwise I end up in: Working on code, pushing code to prod, checking database, working on code, where are the specs?, checking database... Third, you're absolutely right that People 2.0 want genuine, authentic contact. Books can really give an insight into a person, like a great biography, making one feel a bond with a long-dead author. Books can also be all business, and I don't care too much for those. I want to get to know the human who wrote the words. Finally: don't sweat the book success. You have a great personality that geeks dig. Your book will sell just fine. First, I want to buy your book. I’ll even buy it at Amazon to help boost ranking.

I'm sure this book will do great. I can't wait to get a copy - ping me if you are interested in an endorsement from the large company perspective. How cool is that! I’m sure this book will do great.
