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.

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. :) laura 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.

If this book is really great, the ROI will be very very interesting for the author. I have no doubt about this. Hi Noah,
