I’ve had a chance over the last two months to read an advance copy of the new book from Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, “The Impact Equation.” Well, I read it – twice – and finally got around to putting my thoughts about it down digitally. Short version – it’s good, y’all!

I couldn’t help writing a piece about what some recent events have got me thinking about in terms of online communication and presence.
