Great reviews of our blog book keep flowing in

I’m very honored to see the reviews that keep flowing in about our blog book on corporate blogging. Jack Nork really liked it, saying “It is extremely well done. I found myself nodding my head and talking to the book!”

Richard Dudley, of Florist Blogs, explains why he is so excited about Naked Conversations and why he feels he already wasted a lot of time and $1,000 in getting his business noticed. In another post he says he’s going to have to read it twice.

Jeff Clavier, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, owns the only signed galley so far. I’m sure we’ll have to sign a few more. But, he gave us a great review too. “All in all, a very useful book that I would recommend to established bloggers as a reference, and to executives who are still wondering what to do about this ‘blogging thing’.”

  1. Hm. I’m going to have to buy it, you know. But I still have bad memories of those dotcom bubble books I brought back in 99-00. They looked good on the shelf for a few months, and then I had to throw them away (the emperor had no clothes).

    So, do you reckon your book is good for the duration, or is it just for ‘now’?

  3. If either Shel or Scoble are the emperor, then for the love of God, please have clothes.

    Google would have to have a massive algo change to exclude blogs from their search results, but that may happen-they could segment searches by traditional websites, and relegate blogs to blogsearch, kind of like they do with groups already.

    Even still, this book is about so much more than just Google juice. There are sections on who should and should not blog, and tips on how to blog effectively. Google is only part of the story-admittedly an important one, but once Google gets people to your site, you still need to follow the other bits of advice to not be lame.

  5. It’s not me, right? It’s you.

    Is it any surprise that the guys that dog the use of blogs are the traditional media?  Or that to read this story online you have to be a Forbes member or subscriber?
