Publication day: I'm feeling a bit Empowered myself

by Josh Bernoff

That smile on my face means that after a year of research and preparation, Empowered is now available to everybody. Check your local bookstore. And from the people I'm speaking with and the reviews I'm reading, some of you are feel like we hit the mark.

When Groundswell was published, the challenge for companies was to figure out how to deal with social technologies.

Now the challenge is to figure out how to manage your company in the age of the empowered customer and the empowered worker.

How do I know we're resonating?

14,000 people downloaded the free Kindle version. We hit #2 on the free Kindle list.

500 people registered for our Webinar.

Brian Solis put me on video. Six different publications asked for bylined articles (here's one for B2B magazine on social media tips; here's another one about HEROes for Marketing News; here's one for CIOs by Ted). The rest of the year is filling up fast with requests from all sorts of companies.

Thank you. This feels good. See you in Chicago, London, New York, Atlanta, Kentucky, Leeds, . . .
