Living in the Age of Conversation

Well, the big day is here. I am fortunate enough to be on the roster for the new book The Age of Conversation. The e-book, paperback and hard cover editions are now available with all proceeds going to charity.

This has been a truly remarkable project led by two extraordinary people. Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton took this upon themselves and the result is fantastic.

You can purchase the book here (note the awesome cover by David Armano), you can also join our Facebook group here (thanks to Mark Goren), you can see a map of all of the authors and you can read about the press this is getting (thanks to the work of David Reich) here.

There are three options for purchase:

e-book - $9.99 US ($7.99 goes to Variety)

softcover - $16.95 ($8.10 goes to charity)

hardcover - $29.99 ($8.55 to charity)

[Update:] I bought a copy of the e-book and the hard cover earlier today. Here is a pic with the cover of the e-book. I've started a group on Flickr so when you get your copy, make sure to snap an image (if you bought the e-book, just print the cover like I did) and join the Flickr Group.

Matt, the flickr group is so coooool! It's like you heard my wish! Well, I'm there now, but sorry - not with the printed cover. I promise to update my snap soon. Congrats on being a part of AOC. Take care, Arun

[Lewis Green]

That's very cool Matt. I purchased two paperbacks, one for me and one as a reward for membership referrals to a professional group. But I'll snap a pic as soon as they arrive.

Thanks for the Google map, too Matt; fabulous addition to the mix. Haven't ever quite seen myself as a 'pushpin' before! ;-) Flickr is a wonderful idea to further the cause too...I tried to place an order today but the server site was 'busy'...must be a good sign?

Next maybe we'll get one of those little "goal graphics" goin' for Drew's $10K vision for VCC! Nice to virtually meet you...thanks for all you've done and continue to do! Viva la conversation! Amy

Hey Matt,

Great Google map you did. Thank you. It makes the world smaller. Then the Flickr idea is excellent. I'll send you my picture soon. Let's make this Age of Conversation the source of many more creative ideas.

[Matt Dickman]

Arun -- Connected minds think alike. Looking forward to seeing more photos there.

Lewis -- Can't wait to see your pic in the group. Nice idea on the giveaway too!

Amy -- I'm glad you like the map, it seemed fitting in this connected venture. Flickr seemed like a natural progression and I can't wait to see the photos once the copies ship in the mail.

Luc -- Thanks for that. I really enjoy using these networks to see how the message spreads. Let me know when your photo goes up.
