Still waiting for @dmscott World Wide Rave to show up.

E-marketing books and sites

I have discovered only recently the books and site of David Meerman Scott and I have just finished ‘The New Rules of Marketing and PR’ which was really interesting. I am going to buy the brand new one called ‘World Wide Rave’ in a matter of seconds. In fact the book has its own site right here with a nice video from SXSW’09. M.Scott also gives away some free eBooks on his site that I have not read yet. You can follow him on twitter @dmscott.

I also pay a visit from time to time to Steve M.Chazin on his blog: MarketingApple.com. He doesn’t post often but he must be quite busy with his work at DimDIm (web conference tool). Every article on his blog is worth reading and his free presentation on ‘5 secrets of the world’s best marketing machine’ is really great. You can follow him @technoguide.

All this makes me think that I really wish I had a Kindle because I am tired of waiting for Amazon deliveries but it is still too expansive. $359 is really a rip-off. I must be the only one because it hasn’t bothered the first 1,5M people who bought it so far.

I am going to wait till the May 6 event to see what Amazon will release
