Wow, that’s really nice of you Eric.

I’m eagerly awaiting my copy of the book, I hope you sell lots Tim and Sunny is right, I want real beer. I always want real beer. Give me beer. I demand beer.

Good news about the Apu article. It’s one of the best British blog posts I have ever read.

Ironic, given it’s about the Simpsons!

Ah, but good writing (as demonstrated on PP…. ok just demonstrated by Rohin) is timeless.
I’m assuming the book will seek to capture articles that are not time sensitive (like the Apu article) or display the immediacy with which the net reacted to 7/7, thereby capturing in print an event which is going to be remembered on the blogosphere for a long time indeed.

Tim – no problemo. The offer of buying a virtual round is good enough for me though Rohin might hanker for a real beer for a bit longer. Though he’ll probably be happy just seeing his name in a book

ha ha if you tried that you might have some trouble on your hands.

What about the rest of us though?

And re: the fast pace of blogging – how do you find that compatible with printing a book? By the time its published you’ve probably got a whole new bunch of bloggers on the scene. Perhaps this is where the second edition comes in?
