Just saw Richard Tallent stick up for us. Much appreciated. Yeah, we're getting incoming fire from John Robb. His blog implied that he believes he deserves the money and the credit from the production of our book.
This is one reason we're doing the book in public. That way everyone's point of view is out there up front and our readers can help make sure everyone gets the credit they deserve.
One thing. Our book isn't gonna be a rehash of what someone wrote two years ago on the Internet. Why do I say that? Well, for one, we're doing our own research. Shel is flying around the country interviewing people for the book. He is gonna be here in Seattle-land tomorrow to interview Microsofties for one chapter in the book. Which shows our attention to detail. We could have done these interviews by email or Skype, but we think it's important to take the time to do original research.
We hear John is working on getting a book deal of his own, too, and are glad to see that.
