Digital Web Trifecta
I have not one, but three pieces of my own writing in this week’s Digital Web, 11 June 2007. The first piece is my usual news blurb, announcing the new issue with relevant links and my usual “quirky” prose—all without the use of “thrilled”, about which Carolyn continually teases me. The second piece is an five-impertinent-question interview with this week’s featured author, my fellow Seattleite, Scott Berkun. The third piece is my first book review for Digital Web, about Scott’s book, The Myths of Innovation. It’s a great book and it was a pleasure to read and review it for Dig-Web, though I would have read it anyway. Scott’s essays helped me though the end of my tumultuous employment with WhitePages, so I have an affection for his writing and perspective.
While they’re not definitive articles about unique topics, I’m pleased with them. I got a chance to see the author’s side of the Digital Web editing process, and see my esteemed colleagues Carolyn and Kerri at work with my somewhat scattered book review. I learned a lot about flow, editing and the timbre of Digital Web’s voice in articles. All great lessons. And I now have my first published writing up on Dig-Web. Hopefully the pieces in various shades of “draft” will now go more smoothly.
Thanks, fellow staffers!
