I’ve been wishing for sometime that movie ads would blurb bloggers over the same old hacks, with links so I could see what real people say about movies (and so I could judge their taste, unlike that of that Jeff Craig Sixty Second Preview thang).
I plan to talk the publisher to include blurbs of the people when and if a paperback of What Would Google Do? is published. If I’m successful, here’s the blurb I would be honored to include from blogger Gregg Morris:
…Jarvis not only “gets it” he “explains it”. As very few have been able to do. And he does that not just for those “in the know” he does it for the average Joe as well. If you are having trouble coming to grips with the new world order, Google and the niche economy, and what it means to you as an individual, a business or an organization I would encourage you to get to Amazon’s site or down to your closest Barnes and Noble and get a copy as quickly as you can. And if you are one of the gazillion people out of work right now you might want to get there quicker.
What he says. I couldn’t resist snipping those kind words. Thanks, Gregg.
Like something that Rotten Tomatoes does by separating the community reviews from the professional reviewers?
I will generally believe the non-professional reviews when deciding on going to a move.
As an 65 year old average Joe, I couldn’t agree more and I’ll add a group who should rush out and get this important book – absolutely everyone! – as a matter of civic responsibility.
I just finished Chris Hedge’s well written “It’s Not Going To Be OK” in his column at Truthdig. Hedge quotes political philosopher Sheldon Wolin “The basic systems are going to stay in place; they are too powerful to be challenged…” But of course as Jarvis points out in WWGD? every basic system is not only being challenged, they are in the process of being transformed even while we sleep! Perhaps Wolin at 86 is not able to fully take the internet into consideration. But Hedge should read WWGD? and reconsider the possibilities.
Youre most welcome. I’ve been a long time fan and It really is a great read.
Best wishes,
Gregg
P.S. And there is absolutely no question about paperback publication. I’m sending a copy to one of my sons who is a Finance and Economics major and I told him he should read WWGD and then look at every economic system they put in front of him in light of what he read in WWGD.
why go for this now?
