There;s a brand new book because of out subsequent week that ought to be of curiosity to everyone who is curious about what can make bloggers and blogging tick.It;s known as Blogging Heroes: Interviews with 30 with the Planet;s Leading Bloggers. And I am honored to get 1 of these thirty individuals profiled by writer Michael Banks. I really feel in particular honored given the other interviewees he selected for that book — everyone from Wired;s Chris Anderson, to LifeHacker;s Gina Trapani, to TechDirt;s Mike Masnick.Banks asked all of us for details on how we got into blogging, how we choose our subjects and more. He then compiled the advice into handy how-to format so that the take-aways would be useful to other bloggers in any field.I like that Banks mixed up the kinds of people he interviewed for that book. It;s not all bloggers who write about technology; there are also bloggers specializing in everything from auctions,
Office 2010 Key, to music.Banking institutions and his publisher John Wiley & Sons (also the publisher for my upcoming guide Microsoft 2.0: How Microsoft Plans to Stay Relevant in the Post-Gates Era) gave the interviewees their respective chapters for posting to our sites. This is my chapter in Blogging Heroes.
