A point I mostly wanted to drive home was that people should take a closer look at Twitter, why it is so relevant, and that the connection with people is the greatest value.

I am more of a geek marketer than a salesman … can you tell? :-)

The content was good, yes a video would have helped or a live walkthrough. Their only comment (a small group that was together) on the book was the whole large slide instead of a slide with resources and your book as the top one would have seemed not as intrusive. Basically saying here is the best resource, me, andhere is some fre stuff to browse but since I am on top it is the best content. That kind of idea. Glad you found the posting however!

I had very little time to prepare and was still working to put the slides and talk together at 4:30 the morning of the event. I had just driven in from Topeka and think I had enough coffee to kill some people. :-)<br><br>I spent a lot of time writing the book, so to say that it is available for sale seems pretty natural to me. Then again, I understand some people do not believe in paying for useful information. I wrote it because people kept asking me about Twitter and my thoughts of it. I wrote it to be helpful far more than to make money. I would certainly never scam somebody out of $12.95 for the couple dollars royalty I would earn off the sale. My reputation is worth a lot more than that to me. I would be more inclined to simply give it away for free if I really believed it would not diminish its greater potential by altering the perceived value. Thank you.
