Congrats on the buch. Did you have a chance to include the fact that Google’s latest earnings suggest they might be able to shrug off some of the economic pain. I’ll be looking for Google’s take on financial institutions.

Just pre-ordered and looking forward.

Oh yes, if you get to Berlin, this has nothing to do with books, but much is communicated nonetheless. http://www.sammlung-boros.de/.

Hey JeffJarvis!

I have never been to Germany, but I love book fairs, and this made for a fascinating cross-cultural read. Will be linking on my book blog!

Hey Jeff,

like Mrs. Hammer I coincidently came across your Talk as I was looking for another talk about education. I was more than happy to be there when I listened to you and what you found out about Google.

One thing that I kept in mind was your Zuckerberg story and the conclusion that in internet business “you have help people do what they already do”

This is great motivation for my vocabulary-learning-project which seems to be demanded not only by millions of pupils and students but also by you and Mr. Burell.

No worries, I will let you know when it goes online

Thanks for your inspiring talk,

Bernd Appelhans

PS: Life is wonderful Why? Well, after the talk I was going over the Book Fair thinking: “You should have talked to Jeff Jarvis”. Four hours later while drinking my coffee at Starbucks looking on the Einkaufsstrasse (shopping street) – guess who – Jeff walked by. I ran out stopped him and we had a nice chat.

In German we would call this coincidence “Zufall”.
It’s original meaning though is “was dir zu fällt” (what is given to you).
Zufall?

You took this American back to his four years in Germany during the late ’90s. All I could say was lyrics from Mahler song-cycles (“Ging heute morgen uber feld” will only get you a funny look) and “Mein Duetsch ist zehr schlecht.” I felt your pain.

Now let me depress myself by reading your link to the post on American reading habits.

bin am Samstag “zufällig” kurz nach 15 Uhr zur Zeit auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse zum Interview mit Jeff Jarvis gestoßen.er war so charmant,sympathisch und charismatisch daß ich bis zum Ende des Interviews bleiben MUßTE.habe facebook und ähnliches in Deutschland bis heute für mich abgelehnt,meine Tochter Janine ist aktiv in studiVZ und ich war bis jetzt überzeugt daß diese Komunikation über internet nur sinnvoll für die heutige Jugend ist.Aber seine Aussagen haben mich neugierig gemacht. Ich bewundere Jeff Jarvis für seine Arbeit und auch für seine persönl.Entwicklung mit der Benutzung neuer Medien.es hat mich inspiriert,diese versuchsweise auch für mich zu nutzen.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Präsenz in Frankfurt Herr Jarvis !!

A culture begins when we hear the first words and try to repeat them, that is how we learn how to speak.
Then we learn how to read and write and that is the second way of communication: a long distance (in space and time) communication.
All is about communication and sharing of ideas.
All is about the men’s need to overcome their loneliness.
If you want to learn how to communicate you HAVE to learn to speak and to READ.
Reading opens doors and spaces, helps you to have a much better life, opening your mind.
A person who doesn’t read is usually a limited one, and doesn’t understand what he misses of life.
Understanding Music, Literature, Art, is living more intensively.
