As to why I found Naked Conversations boring, it probably has to do with already “being in” the blogosphere. Partially it could also have to do with culture; hyping is not well received in my part of the planet. And yes, that’s what I think the book was about: hyping business blogging. After reading the book, I emphasize with Werner Vogel’s comments even more: it’s not enough of an argument that “blogs are cool and everybody is doing them”.

I also wonder if writing the book online was responsible for any of what I did not like about the book. In a “design by committee” way.

I'm grateful that most people seem to disagree. Good luck on doing a better job at writing a book than we did.</p> Sorry you found our book boring. I’m grateful that most people seem to disagree.
