  I think Ori should take advantage of the power of blogs and their followers. Find 5-10 top business blogs and their owners and send them advanced copies with only one single request, review the book on their site once they’re done with it.

  I think Noah should publically dump one of his top 11 recommended books for entrepreneurs in favour of this one, thereby creating a fuss over Ori’s book superceding traditional thinking.

  Hi Noah,

  My suggestions is to send the book to some Trusted Authorities from Suggestica.com (try to find their addresses and send them a book). If this book is really great, the ROI will be very very interesting for the author. I have no doubt about this.

  Get Dina Kaplan from Blip TV to interview Ori and Rod about the power of Leaderless Organizations. Have Dina discuss Podcamp Boston with Ori and Rod. Podcamp Boston is an excellent example of a successful UNconference (Starfish) that was organized on a wiki and was a HUGE success with tons of people blogging and podcasting about it. Have Dina create a video blog of this interview and show it on Blip TV. Much has been written about how Vonage CEO Jeff Pulver took a real shine to Podcamp Boston, and how he told the CEO’s who attended the VON conference that they needed to watch organizations like podcamp, because they were going to be where the REAL change is.

  When Ori and Rod are speaking at Harvard in Boston they can speak about how podcamp is more of a starfish org. and how many of the CEOs who attended VON run spider companies. This will be a very relevant example to the folks at Harvard since there has been much talk about both conferences and they were both held in Boston. This is a very quick overview of a somewhat complex strategy idea, so let me know if you like it and I can send links or you can just search Podcamp Boston on Technorati and find most of this stuff.

  P.S. Have Ori and Rod create short podcasts that are quick summaries of points they make in the book. Get people listening to them and start a conversation.

  I ain’t the most popular cat around, but this book will make it to quite a few Top 8s.

  I know I am late, but I think the publishers should put one thousands books inside lagre bottles and cast them off to sea. Inside the books inside the bottles should be ten $100 bills. Basically it is a message in the bottle with two prizes inside. The cash and the book. People will be lining the coast looking for the bottles. Free PR.

  It also goes with the Starfish theme.

  Buzz baby! spread out a few “Pass me on” copies for people to pass it on once they’re done reading it! So If i get the book, once i’m done I do something similar on my blog and pass it on to one of my readers…

  Is podcasting dead? I have not heard about it for about a year.

  Don’t skate to were the puck is, skate to where it is going…
