I’m not sure we realized how much buzz and just how big this was going to be when we signed on â?? know I didn’t. But this whole effort is turning into some much more special than I had originally anticipated. This is one project that I’m really proud to have been associated with.

Consider this an open invitation. Whether you’ve contributed to The Age of Conversation or not, we’d like you to join our group over at Facebook. If you’re there and not already a member, look for the “Age of Conversation Contributors + Friends” group. In a few short days, we’re already 40+ members strong.
Come aboard, start a thread, get to know the contributors and other supporters. There are a lot of us there â?? and I think the group still has a chance to grow.
The book launches on Monday, it’s already been featured in Advertising Age and Social Computing Magazine (thanks to David). There’s a buzz â?? and it’s building. The Facebook group is your chance to join the largest collection of contributors in one place. Hope to see you there.
Also, visit the Age of Conversation blog, it’s now live â?? and a great place to find out more about everything AOC.

Good work here Mark. I understand 317 books were sold on the first day, which raised over $3,000 for Variety. Pretty awesome, eh?
