Buying In: Some more reactions; GoodReads; etc.

Posted Under: Buying In (the book)

A very nice mention on Brand New reminds me that it’s been probably, oh, a week or more since I posted about Buying In, and the early reactions to it. So: Please check out Gareth Kay’s take here.

I see the book has also come up on Brian Oberkirch’s Like It Matters, and on the site of The Hundreds (a brand that’s actually in the book). So: Thanks, all.

Also: Someone has tagged it, or whatever the term is, on This Next. So if you’re a This Next-er, you can chime in.

Finally: I mentioned earlier that because I’d noticed the book’s Goodreads listing attract a few “to read” notations, I was going to explore that site. I did, and I ended up joining. Now I’m a Goodreads Author! I like it.

I’ve also heard a little about another site, which I guess is sort of a social network for writers, called Red Room, which I don’t totally get, as well as a newer site called BookRabbit, which I have not explored. If used either, or you’re aware of a particularly good site/service for learning about books online, etc., I’d be curious to hear of it.

Cos I think that this whole Web thing might really take off.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.
