Zen And The Heart Of Social Media
Our first book.
(WORLD) We gave you a little taste last month and thought it time to fully serve up the news and get it out there:
Zen And The Heart Of Social Media is a book which offers clear and awakening insights into online techniques, habits and practices.
Presented as a collection of mantras / statements / principles / standards which have evolved through our experience of working with a cross-sector group of clients and which have their roots in a decade of online activity plus roles in public & private sector.
This is our way of doing this stuff.
As a hat-tip to Getting Real by 37signals.com, we're making Zen And The Heart Of Social Media available to read online for free, then charging for the book (and other stuff).
We're busy proofing the first draft plus working on the website design and ecommerce solution.
Launch date yet to be confirmed although you will be able to pre-order early October (make sure you're signed up to our digest for exclusive early-bird offers) plus there'll be some interesting ways to get a copy for free as well.
"What’s new?" is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow.
I would like, instead, to be concerned with the question "what is best?", a question which cuts deeply rather than broadly, a question whose answers tend to move the silt downstream.

Very pleased for you, my friend.
This is an exciting and well-conceived project, as well as a clever merger between old and emerging technologies…old and emerging philosophies. And anyone that’s going to create something in the Pirsig 2.0 category has my attention!
