A couple things...
Some happenings from around the net:
The brainchild of Drew and Gavin, the Conversation Age has its authors conversing about a pricing strategy. Suggestions have been all over the place, but I'm inclined to think 10 bucks makes the most sense, with higher donation levels accepted. I doubt this would go over too well, but I think there is merit in having some "buzz-building" copies for free giveaway. These could be used for press, contests or whatever at each blog, but only after the author buys a copy for themselves.
Of course, after we give away the copy, we guilt them into donating anyway.
And, over in CK's neck of the woods, she's putting together the Blogger Social '08. Cam made a survey to test the waters a bit, so you should be cool and go take it. As I told CK, I think having a conference without the boring conference part is a fuckin' brilliant idea. We've been talking about getting together for awhile now, so the more the merrier.
Also, Marcus is looking for some feedback for the new Siemen's CEO. I don't think he has much faith that the new guy has a chance to turn around the Siemen's monolith.
