Bookishness

A lot has changed in this business since the turn of the century.

One of the most dramatic changes is a href=”http://adage.com/talentworks/article?article_id=133481″given voice/a by Traci Armstrong, the director of talent acquisition at Organic:

I first put my book online in 1999. But no one–and I mean ino one/i–would look at it until about 2003.

The funny thing is I now have a href=”http://davidburn.com/David_Burn_Book.pdf”a physical, printed book/a that’s a collection of online content. But I’m not interested in dropping it off for anyone. It’s a talk piece, something to share in person.
