The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ?Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary.

I love Toby’s positioning of the book. This is a win-win-win project…everyone who has been involved has thoroughly enjoyed it, the charity benefits and businesses new to social media get to understand the medium from 103 points of view.
(And I also think it so cool that we all get to look back on it 20 years from now and just smile that we were a part of the social media movement .

Toby, I love “the business book with the social media soul”.
This has been an amazing project to be part of and I am sure it will kick-start a whole range of other conversations amongst the contributors, with the business community and hopefully with a much wider audience.
Special thanks to all who contributed and who continue to help spread the word!

I’m calling Age of Conversation – “the business book with the social media soul.” It was a privilege and a pleasure to play a part in this project, which is a amazing example of how real friends, who met thru blogging, created an important thought piece about the new communication.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a part of this project. I’m SO not worthy… but I’m stoked just the same.

CK, I just realized that it was through this project that I connected with you! This has been an amazing collaboration with a wonderful group of people. I am still getting to know the other contributors — so many great blogs, so little time. Gotta go download my copy now because I’ve been waiting for three months to see what everyone else wrote.

Yeah, like everyone else, I’m glad to have been able to participate in this awesome project.
I just got my ebook copy this morning (all authors pay for their books, no freebies) and after a quick run-through, I can tell that it’s awesome.

I'm proud to be part of this project. There's some awesome writing and smart thinking in the book, and I look forward to many interesting conversations it will spark. FYI, this project is getting noticed. Advertising Age has a review at http://adage.com/bookstore/post?article_id=119259 and Mediapost's Marketing Daily also has a nice write-up this morning at http://publications.mediapost.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.san&s=64003&Nid=32318&p=192222

CK,
Being part of this is indeed an honor. I was lucky to meet you, Valeria, Drew, Lewis and David and this completely changed my perception of the word “blogging”. This book is an “act” that moves in the right direction. May the drops of water it is made of make a giant wave that will help children in need.

I second Mack’s sentiment. It is my honor to be part of this project. I am buying several copies to give away and to help children.

I am truly honored to be a part of this project, and hope that everyone will purchase a copy in whatever form you choose. You’ll be a smarter marketer(for an insanely low price), and you’ll be helping save and better the lives of children around the world. A win-win for everyone.
