Age of Conversation ready for Amazon listing

Finally, after a few delays and hiccups, the innovative collaborative marketing book (including a chapter form Media Hunter), Age of Conversation is ready to list on Amazon.

Don't rush out to order yet though, wait until 29 March when it is officially listed. In the meantime the authors and editors are organising a Bum Rush to coincide with the Amazon listing to create awareness and focus attention on getting the book off to a flying start on the best-seller lists.

For those of you who came in late:

Age of Conversation is the brainchild of two respected bloggers and marketers, Gavin Heaton and Drew McLellan. Gavin is the Sydney based author of Servant of Chaos, while Drew is the American author of The Marketing Minute.

Gavin and Drew have assembled 100 of the world's leading marketers and Web 2.0 thinkers to write chapters for the Age of Conversation. The book promises to give an amazing insight into the new wave of conversation style marketing that some marketers have employed with great success, but is still a mystery to many.

Media Hunter is proud to be a contributor to this ambitious project, writing a chapter on a new form of Citizen Powered Media that enables local businesses to benefit from the incredible opportunites to be found online. It's all about making the web relevent at a local level and the case study is Hunters Best.

All proceeds from the sale of the Age of Conversation e-book have been and will continue to be donated to Variety, a worthy cause I am sure you will agree.

Age of Conversation was originally published worldwide on 16 July 2007 via online publisher Lulu. The book quickly raced up the publishers online rankings and achieved our target of generating $10,000USD in donations for Variety.

The book has created publicity around the world even in far-flung locations such as Dubai and Oman. It was featured on the Ad-Age USA website, while authors were interviewed on blogs, radio, TV and press around the word.
