HOT OFF THE PRESSES! The Power of Many

The Power of Many
The Power of Many: How the Living Web Is Transforming Politics, Business, and Everyday Life

The development of social networks on the Web touches countless aspects of our everyday lives. With instant access to people of similar mindsets, near or far, we can readily form partnerships with more people and in more ways than ever before. It’s now possible to use Internet tools to organize a rally, energize a political campaign, arrange a date, join a support group, or sell a product, as naturally as we use a phone.

What do I like about the book? I have not read it yet, but I hope after the elections Christian talks a bit more about the process of writing the book, in particular his use of a blog and wiki. He truly used the technology of the internet and "the power of many" to write the book. Now let's see how that power is used for promoting it as well.

Anybody have any ideas?

Dummy Blog Set Up for Tuesday's Template Demo on The Screen Savers: By all rights I should be barbecuing right now and by all means not laboring, but as a mostly self-employed guy who's job right now is mostly promoting his most recent book, not to mention a guy with not enough time to do all the things he wants to do once...

Jeremy Zawodny Dreams of the Perfect RSS Aggregator: He may be giving Radio's aggregator short shrift, but Jeremy has done a good job of breaking down several approaches to RSS aggregation and providing his own wishlist: I'm on a quest to find the perfect RSS aggregator....

LiveJournal Slighted by the Blogosphere?: decafbad follows up on Dylan Tweney's aside ("...LiveJournal.com (which most weblog news stories overlook for some reason) boasts more than 650,000 [users]..."), asking why is LiveJournal largely ignored in coverage of blogging?
