These days books have their own microsites, Amazon feedback loops, Twitter hashtags, LinkedIn groups, Facebook pages, even their own apps and related tracking metrics and social analytics. My books had had most of these.
In addition:
- For The New Polymath, my fellow author friend Peter Fingar created an animato.
- For The New Technology Elite, I had a Pinterest gallery
- For The Digital Enterprise, Jon Reed and Fred Zimmerman used ‘anthropomorphism-friendly textbots’ at Fred’s startup PageKicker to create a tag cloud.
For SAP Nation, Dennis Howlett has invited me to try CrowdChat. CrowdChat is a free community platform started by our friend, John Furrier that works across Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN to allow users to discuss a topic using a specific hashtag.
Join Dennis and me Monday morning – details here. There you can see a 'sign' icon at the top right and can use LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter credentials to come into the chat. You'll have the option to post whatever you say out to Twitter etc as well.
We will be giving out 3 free Kindle copies of the book – one based on just showing up (so long we see your Twitter handle or other identifier), one based on the smartest question during the session, and one based on a write up or review which mentions that chat. Dennis will be judge and jury for all 3 awards – so you better be nice to him for the next few days.
See you at CrowdChat.
