I thought I’d assemble a reading list of blog posts and other stuff I’ve written or said recently, for Andreas Weigend‘s Social Data Revolution class at the UC Berkeley School of Information, in which I participated a few days ago. So here goes. All this is stuff published roughly since The Intention Economy came out:

Thank you, Doc Searls. Your book ‘The Intention Economy’ is a brilliant piece of work on free markets and the internet. Are you currently working on another book? If not, I think you should be. 😉
Big fan.

Thanks, Alexander. I’m blushing here.
In fact I am working on a book, but in motion much too slow. I’ll step on the gas now. 🙂
Glad to hear it, Doc. 😀 Pedal to the metal. I’ll definitely buy it. And if you need further positive incentive, I would recommend that you read through the customer reviews on your book’s amazon page. Best of luck onwards with your writing.
