As I was blogging last night, I noticed an ad in my editor which caught my interest.
This ad was for a service where you can take your blog and this company will go and produce a book of one's book - very much a vanity-publishing sort of thing.
My first reaction is that this is way-cool. How neato would it be to be able to flip through the pages of TecHumanity?
Then - a little voice popped up in my mind and said "Hmmm, is this such a practical idea? Blogs by nature are dynamic. Granted that the frequency of additions to it depend solely on the author, but geesh, it's going to take all of a week or so for the book to be "out of date".
Where this could be a very good idea is as it relates to eReaders and the such, but only to the extent that it must be automatically update the content. That having been said, what's the difference from just browsing to the link.
Oh well, maybe when I "retire" from TecHumanity and post no more, I can revisit this. Man, when I had them do a preliminary copy of my book, it was in excess of 80 pages. It seems like a lot of blogging to me, but then again, I'm not the most active blogger out there :)
