We’re all talking — The Age of Conversation

The power of online community continues to AMAZE me. Just a few weeks ago I left a “dare” on Drew McLellan’s blog … (go on Drew, dare you … what do you say?). Next thing you know we have an awesome list of bloggers signing on for a chapter of an eBook — The Age of Conversation. It is a great topic, but even more importantly, it is a great cause … because, that’s right — all proceeds from the sale of the eBook will go to Variety, the Children’s Charity.

There have been hundreds of emails to and fro, communicating with the contributing authors, clarifying items, topics and so on … but we have now closed the contributors list. (Drew, how will I get by without 50 emails from you a day?) Now, I must admit, I wondered how many authors we would come on board, but we have actually exceeded our target of 100 … and now the hard work, and excitement, begins for all of you contributors. Remember — all chapters are due 30 April!

And just to whet your appetite, here are the names (and where available), blog links for all contributors.

  1. After seeing the full list of writers, I’m even more frightened than I was before. This is going to be super-mega awesome… even with my crap.
    Thanks for working with Drew to pull this off.

  2. I love seeing dreams become reality. 🙂
    Many thanks to you and Drew for dreaming this up, and for getting this all starting in such a generous way to involve so many others.
    This ALREADY rocks.
