People Going Gorillas for APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur by Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch


I know a few million of you have probably already bought and read APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur - How to Publish a Book by Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch which came out last night at midnight Pacific Coast Time, but for the rest of you, what's taking you so long? Just kidding, a little, but this is a book that so many people will find
FUN
FUNNY
INFORMATIVE
INSPIRATIONAL
INSPIRING
THOUGHTFUL
VIGOROUS
VISIONARY and
WONDERFUL!
Full disclosure, I know Guy and Shawn and worked with them on the last book, What the Plus! Google+ for the Rest of Us, so I am a friend. Guy gives me cred in the acknowledgements section of this new book for just about forcing him to write it, so I am biased. But this book has so much more to offer than I thought it would in the beginning, I'm seriously impressed. It's so useful and practical, as well as amusing and inspiring, which you can count on from any Kawasaki book. As I wrote in a review of the book on Amazon, I can't think of anyone who shouldn't read this book. If you're a reader it's a must own. If you're a writer, it's essential. If you're a publisher, you can't live without it. And of course, entrepreneurs will love it.

Big Excellent News for Yahoo!



So glad to hear Marissa Mayer will be the new Yahoo CEO and then to hear the even better news!  She's pregnant!  Bravo for her on both counts!

We were on a panel together a long time ago and a few people didn't seem to take her seriously because she was so young.  Boy did they get it wrong!

This is a day we will all spend imagining the cool and innovative things Yahoo will do with her at the helm.  Yes, words nobody's been pairing with Yahoo recently -- cool, innovative -- but watch what happens! Photo Credit: Wikipedia
