Scoble's New Book

posted on 2004-12-05 at 00:07:58 by Joel Ross

Robert Scoble is writing a book about corporate blogging - on his blog! Actually, he's reluctantly pulling Shel Israel along with him. They're working out all of the details on Robert's MSN Spaces blog. You can read the initial post about the book there too.

And when you're done there, go read Shel's blog. He's posting his responses there.

It looks like the plan is to do everything in the open - negotiate the deal amongst themselves, sell the book to a publisher on eBay, and write it. That means if you follow along, you'll have read the whole book - you may even be able to contribute! Robert, if you decide to let readers contribute, you should allow readers to choose what charity half the money you get will go to. (He said his profits will go to charity!).

This should be cool - everyone who's never written a book will get to see the process from an author's perspective. I'll probably never write a book, but if I ever do, reading about this will probably help.
