About the Book
"Pete Ashton represents the gold standard in using a blog as a tool for thinking out loud" Chris Unitt
A collection of blog posts by Pete Ashton from around the time somebody coined the term "social media" and the world went a little crazy while we tried to figure out what, if anything, it all meant.
This book is mostly an excuse to play with Leanpub but it might be of interest to internet historians, fans of blogging and oh my god kill me now so I don't have to think of other potential markets for my textual ideavomit.
Regarding the development of this book, I have a rough plan:
- Prepare and upload the blog posts. (done!)
- Publish the first draft of the book. (done!)
- Tidy up the blog posts, editing bits that don't make sense offline. Remove unecessary links and so on. (working on it...)
- Add contextual footnotes.
- Write introductions to each section putting the posts into more context.
I plan to write a new book this summer which will effectively be a sequel to this, so you can consider this book a dry run.
