Authors Engaged Online Wednesday February 7th: Brian Solis

I don’t remember when I was first came across Brian Solis.  It may have been through a mutual friend since we have many.  I still have not met him personally but I have enjoyed his posts and video interviews.  I had planned to read his book Engage for a long time but my book stack has taken on a  monstrous likeness lately.  This past spring I stumbled on on his interview with Tiffany Shlain where she talked about her new 2011 Sundance Official Selection documentary film Connected.  I enjoyed Brian’s questions in the interview and decided to dig into his work more.  When he launched an early campaign for his new book The End of Business as Usual I decided to order an early copy.  Yesterday I started it.  I was hooked on a book within the first chapter. Honestly I was hooked by just reading Katie Couric’s foreword.  I will post more about the book as I continue.

You can engage with Brian on Twitter at @BrianSolis or what I prefer these days, Google Plus.

Authors Engaged Online Wednesday December 21st: Chris Brogan on Experts

Last week I announce a new way to highlight Authors who engage with their readers. I have had a twitter list of them for a while.  I have become disatisfied with how that list is randomly highlighted via paper.li.  So I ceased those updates altogether.  Instead I wil post daily something one of those authors is saying or posting (I may miss a few days here and there).

Here is the first installment:

Chris brogan is a great writer and thinker. He has continually added value to my business life.  Today he popped up on my radar with a really good post about experts and trying new things called We’re No Experts.  I hope you check it out.

Here is a list of Chris’s books.  I hand out copies of Trust Agents all the time.  If you have not read it, you should. It will revolutionize how you connect with others. Chris’ new book is all about Google Plus.
