Talking The Talk 2

Today's the day.

One of the great collective publishing projects returns.

237 authors (including yours truly).

15 countries.

1 book (albeit the second time around for it). 

Welcome to The Age of Conversation 2--Why Don't They Get it.

Available now.  Order it here.

There are two great reasons to do so:

1. It raises money for Variety, the Children's Charity.  Every dollar from the book goes to them.
2. The collective wisdom of the people gathered within.  Editors Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton have assembled some of the brightest bloggers/thinkers in the marketing world and challenged them with eight different themes.  In fact, in addition to them in AoC2, it's well worth your while to check them all out in their respective corners of the blogosphere:
