Shel Israel just published the first draft of our book proposal. So, what do you think? I like it a lot and will chew on it a bit over the next 24 hours to see if I can improve it at all. Where is it too broad? Too narrow? Does it make you interested in the book or does it make you run away screaming? One thing is that this book will change direction over time as we learn how to use blogs for building a project. That's something that the blogosphere doesn't usually talk about since it isn't the sexy use of blogs. Also, who knows, over the next six months there probably will be some dramatic news for the blogosphere. Last week's opening of MSN Spaces isn't the last chapter. I'm guessing that it's an early chapter in a rapidly evolving space. Thanks Shel for this great start. I'm excited. This is the book I'm excited about and I'm glad you pitched me on this crazy project. Can't wait to see how this evolves.

As we start diving into this wacky idea we had over the weekend, we're finding that it's impossible to be totally transparent about the book. For instance, Dana Epp is staying at my house and we're talking a lot about the book on and off. Not every conversation we have about the book will be able to be blogged here. Just to set expections properly. Plus, Shel and I are finding that we're still doing some back channel communications that aren't in the blog. Why? Because we're still building our relationship and figuring this all out. Just wanted to let you know that it's just really hard to do everything in public eye. Figuring this out will be an important part of the book, though. Lots of people ask me questions about how to figure out what to write about. This stuff is hard. If it were easy, every company would already have a blog. Some other things: 1) We're going to do a book. That's our goal. You know, the kind of thing printed on paper. Limited in size (we're aiming for ...

Turns out MSN Spaces isn't really a great place for us to work collaboratively, so we're probably going to open up a TypePad space. That way we can own our own domain, do podcasts, and generally have more control of things (we'll be running Google ads and Amazon affiliate stuff too, so need a more flexible service). Not that MSN Spaces is bad, it just has some limitations. But for now we're here, so let's enjoy our time together.
