Virtual roadshow, or can we squat your blog?
My co-author and I are planning a virtual roadshow as part of the promotion of our upcoming book The Unofficial Guide To Windows Vista.
I pinched the idea from Octavio Rojas, who squatted several blogs (including Blethers) around the launch of his book Relaciones Públicas: La Eficacia de la Influencia. Basically, the plan is for Derek and me to write a series of blog posts that in some way combine the subject of Windows Vista with whatever our host bloggers usually write about. For some of the blogs we intend to visit, that may be quite a challenge - but we like a challenge.
Before we start contacting people directly, I thought I might ask whether any of you would like to have us drop by your blog on our tour. Don't worry if your blog is not tech-oriented; if anything, we'd prefer if it isn't, since our book isn't really aimed at hardcore geeks.
We promise to be respectful guests. You'll have the final say over what - if anything - gets published, and we can also write in French or Spanish if your readers aren't used to seeing English-language posts on your blog.
If you're interested in hosting the Unofficial Vista Roadshow, send me an email at smudie@gmail.com.
