New book, new way of publishing
Posted in Web, books, publishing, writing on May 1st, 2009 by scott – 1 CommentA few days ago, O’Reilly Media released a new book by Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein: The Twitter Book. You can get it as an ebook, with a dead trees version coming soon. What’s interesting about the book isn’t its subject matter, but rather the way in which it was written. Believe it or not, the book was done in PowerPoint. Yes, PowerPoint. A piece of software that’s generally used to create presentation slides.
Tim O’Reilly recently blogged about the book, the writing process, and how their approach to the The Twitter Book was an attempt to reinvent the concept of the book in the age of the Web. Read O’Reilly’s post for the details.
