Another great connection coming out of ShelfTalker, simply amazing. I haven't yet read What Would Google Do, it's one of the many books in my "absolutely have to read but can never get around to it" pile!<br>-Dan Hi Alison! Another great connection coming out of ShelfTalker, simply amazing. I haven't yet read What Would Google Do, it's one of the many books in my “absolutely have to read but can never get around to it” pile!

I recently learned of another similar ShelfTalker success that seemed worth sharing too. Several months ago I blogged about one of my favorite books having gone out of print. A publisher recently contacted me to say that thanks to my post they'd bought the rights to that book and would be reissuing it in 2010! It's amazing to think that I could have impacted the life of a book just by including it in one brief blog post.<br><br>Have you read What Would Google Do? by Jeff Jarvis? I'm reading it now and finding it dovetails perfectly with the things you've been writing about here. The world is changing quickly, yes, but in the process a LOT of doors are opening -- even for us wee little bloggers.
