Valley Girl: Saving the Publishing Industry One Column at a Time
Here's my latest BusinessWeek column. It started out as a blog post but got longer and longer so I transformed it into a column instead. It's about how the publishing industry needs to be as transformed by Web 2.0 (aka community, interaction, marketing) as it was by Web 1.0 (aka transactions) if it wants to stay vibrant. (Fitting since I'm in Amazon country today!)
In case it wasn't clear: I actually had a near-fairy tale experience with Gotham so its not a bitch-fest at all. I just want publishing to stick around as a viable industry! Now, to the next task at hand: My Gnomedex keynote! eeeeek.

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

I enjoyed your presentation at Gnomedex. I watched from my home in Florida as the last of Fay passed over.
