It was quite a rush to see an actual printed copy of the book I coauthored with Char James-Tanny and Brenda Huettner. It's called <em>Managing Virtual Teams: Getting the Most From Wikis, Blogs, and Other Collaborative Tools</em>. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The three of us worked all summer and most of the fall putting this book together. It was a fantastic learning experience, and fun getting to know Char and Brenda better. Char is the tools guru, without whom this book would not be nearly as good. Brenda and I like the process and people side of the equation, and Brenda has published several other books, so her knowledge was invaluable.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I think we made a good team, and contributed complementary skills.The book's available directly from the publisher at </span><a href="http://www.wordware.com/wiki/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">http://www.wordware.com/wiki/</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> for a 35% discount. Or, you can order it off </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Amazon</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">You can see us live at </span><a href="http://www.doctrain.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">DocTrain</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> on April 19, 2007 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We will also be at the </span><a href="http://www.stc.org/54thConf/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">STC</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> conference in Minneapolis, MN from May 13-16, 2007.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright 2007.
