    This week I am on vacation.  I may or may not post depending on wuz up back at The Ranch. 

    Instead of blogging, I am posting suggested "summer reading."

    Today's suggestion:

    Read Shel Israel's posts on Corporate Blogging.  Shel, along with Robert Scoble, is the author of Naked Conversations, which is also very worth reading.

    Suggested Summer Reading While Alan is on Vacation

    This week I am on vacation.  I may or may not post depending on waz up back at The Ranch. 

    Instead of blogging, I am posting suggested "summer reading."

    Today's suggestion:

    Read Robert Scoble's "Corporate Weblog Manifesto."  It's three years old- ancient in blogging years, and still applicable.

    Buy "Naked Conversations" If You Are Not Happy With It, I'll Peronally Buy Your Copy

    If you are reading my blog, and you care about blogging, buy Naked Conversations by Shel Israel and Robert Scoble.  Click here  to order from Amazon.

    I had ordered my copy after seeing Shel at two industry blogging conferences, but Amazon somehow screwed up the orders due to some ordering snafu which I caught.

    I'll be doing a boook review soon, but in the mean time, just order it.

    If you it doesn't set you straight on corporate blogging, send me an email to: alan at weinkrantz.com and I will send you a check to reimburse you.  You don't have to send me your book. 

    Yes, it's that good.

    New Book, “SIP Beyond VoIP” Reflects Next Evolution in Internet Communications

    Coversip_voip_sept05We've just announced the availability of an important new book for our client, VON Publishing, "SIP beyond VoIP," written by three distinguished authors: Henry Sinnreich, Alan B. Johnston and Robert J. Sparks. The foreword by Vint Cerf, the co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol on which the Internet is based, attests to the world class quality of the book.

    "SIP beyond VoIP" Defines the Shift To Internet  Communications’ Global Open Standards

    “We are in a period where many vendors, service providers, and end users are facing the transition from closed and proprietary VoIP or instant messaging (IM) systems, to SIP based systems,” observed Richard Grigonis, Editor in Chief of VON Magazine. “The authors collectively succeed in educating the reader about a global open Internet standard, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) that provides not only VoIP, but also instant messaging, presence, video, mobility, integration with applications and many other features. This raises the question: Why have separate voice and IM communications, separate conferencing, collaboration and mobility services, separate applications and communications?”

    Pricing and Availability:

    “SIP Beyond VoIP” (ISBN: 0-9748130-0-1) is now availability directly from the VON Publishing web site for $35.00 + $3.00 shipping and handling (international orders are $5.00 for shipping and handling).

    Worth Reading: "Computer Desktop Encyclopedia"

    Solution. Migration. Integrated. Scalable. NextGen. After two decades of doing technology PR, I must admit that even I get tired of hearing meaningless buzzwords that have nothing to do with our client's core messages. 

    My suggestion:  kill the buzzwords and focus on your message.  And buy a copy of the Computer Desktop Encyclopedia to make sure you are talking the right talk.

    Recommended Book: Life 2.0

    I am contributor to a book authored by Forbes magazine Publisher, Rich Kaarlgard, "Life 2.0, How People Across America Are Transforming Their Lives by Finding the Where of Their Happiness." My excerpt was about what it's like living San Antonio and specifically, my favorite store, Central Market. You can get a preview of the book at Amazon. Just type in "Life 2.0" and it will come up. Highly recommened.
