Well actually the original discussion with Ross was me saying we should put a wiki up, which he shot down with saying all you need is a search box. But this book idea is not just a summation of knowledge here.
The things I write here are different from what I write on my blog. I'm dying to write a book that creates an analysis of business on the Internet - analysing trends, evolving models, and synthesising what's happening at a 'the world is flat' 40,000 foot overview. That's a big topic, that will get value from a diverse group of people collaborating. So the point I want to make is that what we discuss here is not what will be in the book. But rather, the people and minds here are what will be brought together. How it's produced, the team can decide that. A wiki is a good option, but experimenting with different types of media distribution strategies is part of the process. With media, the words are just one aspect: the design, the structure, the distribution method are all equally important and just as much of a challenge to create Sent from my iPhone On 18/12/2008, at 12:19 AM, dekrazee1 <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'd assumed from the beginning that there'd be an online version in > tandem with the book.
