David Siegel and The Economist Launch New Video on the History of Information
May 10, 2010
I am nearly finished with the best and most challenging book that I have read in years.
- Phil Simon, Author, The Next Wave of Technologies.
Today I am pleased to announce the launch of a new video I spent two months creating. It’s launching on The Economist ideas blog, sponsored by Sean McManus. I’m very proud that the Economist has asked to debut my video and help bring the concepts of pull and the semantic web to the mainstream business public. I want to ask your help today in getting as many people as possible to see my video.
For those of you coming here from the Economist, thank you for visiting. This is a huge web site with a lot of content. It would take several days to see it all. So here’s a quick guide:
- Be sure to sign up to follow my Twitter feed. This is where you’ll get news, links, and learn about the latest projects in pull and the semantic web.
- Go to the Getting Started page, which will give you an overview of the principles of pull and the semantic web.
- Please buy my book and read it. It will take a weekend, and if you don’t think it’s worth your time, I’ll buy it back from you. I can guarantee you won’t read this material in any other book. It’s aimed at business planners, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and those who want a solid look at the future of information. That’s why I made a video on the history of information, to put it all in perspective.
- Hire me to consult or give a speech at your next big conference.
- Tell others about the book and this web site. The more people in your industry who start to understand the shift from pushing to pulling, the better.
- Leave a comment on the Barnes and Noble book page or the Amazon.com book page.
- Leave a short comment about the video on the Economist web page – the more people who comment there, the better.
Help me reach business journalists. The Harvard Business Review gave my book a glowing review. The Economist has put my video on their blog. Now I need more business journalists to understand how important the material is. Most business journalists are consumed with Google, Facebook, and Twitter issues. They don’t have time to think or write about the future of information. I think they should. If you can help me reach any business journalists, please contact me directly.
Thank you, and enjoy the video:
