Conversations, collaboration and publishing 2.0
Two gents who walk the social media walk are Joe Jaffe and Shel Israel. Both are currently working on their second books and have invited conversations and encourage collaboration with their audiences. It’s not culture by committee as both still maintain editorial and subject matter control, but it is in the true spirit of listening and learning that they’re asking for feedback and input.
Shel has the ToC 2.0 up at his site for his new book Global Neighbo[u]rhoods (long story with the ou), and Joe has started a Wiki for input on Chapter 10 of his upcoming book “Join the Conversation”.
I encourage anyone with something to say, or an interest in social media, to check them out and get in on the conversation.

The interesting exercise will be to what extent we, the people get off our behinds and contribute.
Thus far, it’s been slow but then again, I am impatient :)

I wonder if Jaffe will include the “conversation” around his recent bellyflop from grace …
