Just created a channel. Hopefully they open it up again.

I’m looking forward to Ireland, never been to the green island before. I don’t know who leaked it first John, or Tom, or was it just a tweet that caused everything.

Nach langer Arbeit vieler Beteiligter ist es nun endlich da: das Buch zur von Jan Schmidt und von mir organisierten Social Software Konferent BlogTalks Reloaded: BlogTalks Reloaded - Social Software - Research & Cases. Ich bin besonders froh darüber mittlerweile das dritte Buch zu einem Thema herausgegeben zu haben, welches akademische Forschung and angewandte Praxis gleichermaßen miteinander verbindet.

After some time and lots of efforts by the authors and - I dare to claim that - the editors the third BlogTalks book will hit the (virtual) shelves in a month or even faster.

I can tell you all those self-publishing services are time bandits. First it took me two months to figure out that Booksurge (an Amazon company) is supposedly run by inverse mechanical turks.
