Book:  the cluetrain manifesto

Invited:  One and all.

I can't make it, does that mean I'm not cool?:  Only sort've.  As it's another excuse to sit around and drink beer (or get it spilled on you), you'll probably miss out on some major coolness vibes.  However, as OlyBlog is real world Olympia community brought closer by ones and zeros, we realized that the OlyBlog book club should break out of the traditional physical confines of space and time and allow for ongoing dialogue online.  Rick created the virtual presence, here.

How much is the book?:  If you have internet access and can tolerate reading online, this book is free.  Just click the hyperlink of the book's title and you'll be taken there.  Otherwise, the Library does have a copy, local bookstores can probably order one for you, or our very own Unabonger was kind enough to provide a purchasing link.

This book is transformational

Its amazing, even six years (or so) after its publication, that Cluetrain is still so revolutionary. My favorite chapter is "markets are conversations," still rocks me.

Get on the Cluetrain!

Hardware

If you want to buy it, (and contribute to Cosmo's OlyBlog Bookclub Beer Fund), you can find a temporal (hardware?) copy by clicking below, or you can go to audible.com and download the audiobook, which is what I did.  There are also some good panel discussions about the book, available at Audible, which are very valuable.

P.S., I'm sorry I missed the last meeting, but I ended with both scheduling conflicts, and the problem of my book not arriving from Amazon, (still hasn't, grumble, grouse, humbug. . . . ) which kind of made my scheduling descision for me.
