Salam Pax's blog entries on the Iraq war have been packaged as a book. I'm not sure if it's available yet in the US. Published by the London Guardian's book imprint.

Thanks Alex. That makes sense to me that an editor would see good copy and pick it up. I'm more interested in those that have set out to use their blog or a similar format to write a book. And no I am not planning to write a book. William Gibson gave up blogging to write his next book.... I'm not giving up blogging to write a book.

I believe that the Thoughtscape tool could be used to create clusters or Paks of related blog material/posts that can slowly and surely be turned into themes, then pages, then chapters - by dragging-and-dropping content into the workspace, annotating items, crating a tour, changing the tour as the logic and story becomes clearer, and so on.

BTW, haven't forgotten - just met with Roland Tanglao this morning, and he should be contacting you tomorrow to find out the best way to send the mnost recent prototype, with the "post-to-blog" feature, which should render it more useful.

And oh, btw, re "free evangelism" - I think anyone who is benefitting from your thorough and enthusiastic reviewing and thinking should offer you some financial or trade recognition. This is what I intend if we are able to get you to play with and review LinkFest (Thoughtscape re-named)
