On November 13th, 2008, Geoff Livingston and I quietly celebrated the bookversary of Now is Gone, one of the first books that tackled the subject of social media and new PR strategies for corporate marketers and communicators.
As Geoff pointed over out at LivingstonBuzz, the book has earned tremendous milestones:
Co-Author, and very good friend, Geoff Livingston, emailed with great news. Now is Gone is listed in The Wall Street Journal as a resource for businesses looking to understand and embrace Social Media as an extension to their corporate marketing initiatives. Congratulations Geoff…I think we’re truly contributing something very useful to the community.
At the very least, and ideally, it’s all we hoped for…to be regarded by those we want to help as a resource for them. Thank you to Scott Monty for helping with the story.
On the heels of the official book release, Geoff Livingston and I continue our podcast series discussing the seven principles of community engagement uncovered in Now is Gone.
Message control is the antithesis of social media, which enables people to communicate
The video “The Break-Up” serves as the ideal example of this culture clash (just replace the word “Advertising” on his shirt with “Public Relations” and play along
In the “Participation Is Marketing” podcast we discuss:
Most companies make the mistake of assuming that merely publishing blog posts is all they need to do to “participate.”
Participation requires a shift from organizational-centric based communications to customer or community-centric communications – Think Customer Service 2.0.
Only 14 days until the release of Now is Gone and to get things rolling, Geoff Livingston and I are recording a series of weekly podcasts to discuss the seven principles of community engagement uncovered in the book.
The book is available for pre-orders at Amazon.com.
I’m happy to announce that Now is Gone is on Amazon.com and is available for pre-orders.

Just wanted to share the good news that the cover for Now is Gone was finalized and is ready to go. It should be listed on Amazon soon.
Thanks again to Geoff Livingston for including me in the development of this book.
Now Is Gone explores how New Media (and Social Media) are forcing the evolution of PR through a rich set of meaningful interviews, case studies, and comprehensive discussions.
Several months ago, good friend Geoff Livingston asked me to work with him to develop a book that helps communications professionals understand and embrace new media. Geoff’s a smart guy and probably didn’t need my help to write this book, but I welcomed the opportunity to work with him.
The result is Now Is Gone – A Primer on New Media for Executives and Entrepreneurs and it’s set to hit the market in October 2007.
