Amazon Lists Naked among year's 10 Best
Amazon.com has named Naked Conversations as #6 on its list of the 10 Best Computer & Internet books of 2006. This is indeed an honor and my thumbs are tugging at my suspenders as I strut about the office.
NOTE: I have replaced a previous comment with this input from our editor Jim Minatel, who contributed significantly to the quality of the book. Jim tells me that Naked was selected from between 1200 and 1500 books in the category.
That's not so bad for two rookie authors.
What did Werner have to do with the book hitting #6? I'll guess very little?
What's really interesting is the other 9 books are really 'how to' books related to web user experience, web development, photography and other technical type books.
Naked Conversations is the only book focused on communication changes.

Congrats, Shel. Well earned, IMHO.

That is definitely suspender-snapping news! I found your book very informative and a great read -- and recently recommended it to my blog readers. Also looking forward to your next book.

Congratulations! This is very, very cool. My copy of Naked Conversations is about the only book I didn't lose track of during my last move.
Cheers,
Kathy

Kathy,
My ego was so big, that I did not immediately notice your book made the list as well. Congratulations, Kathy.
