I was the first sr. software engineer at Facebook, and have written a book about my experiences there called "Inside Facebook," which in the past few weeks has already sold hundreds of copies. TechCrunch, Mashable and GigaOM readers found my material very interesting, my data shows. So I think your readers too would enjoy whatever editorial coverage or review you can create for this book, Inside Facebook. I'd be happy to email you a full review copy, and talk with you any time. My IM is karelbaloun (aim) or reply. My marketing team can also help you craft your story, and at www.fbbook.com we also have a fancy press kit, if you're into that. The book is on sale at FBbook.com for $12.00 USD for the downloadable PDF version, and there are also free pages and other samples. After TechCrunch, we had 100K pageviews in a single day. Since we offered the entire book through an html viewer, a full third of readers who saw page #2, immediately went on and clicked "next" dozens of times to read every page. Our first major review was on GigaOM on Oct. 13, here: http://gigaom.com/2006/10/13/former-facebook-engineer-spills-beans-moralizes/ And more positive coverage on Techcrunch on October 26, with over 50 overwhelmingly positive reader comments: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/25/inside-facebook-read-it-for-free/ Given that Facebook has been consistently in the news recently, this story should drive good traffic for you. Just last week, my article "Why Zuckerberg Won't Accept Just $1 Billion from Yahoo" was on Mashable.com, here http://mashable.com/2006/10/27/why-zuckerberg-wont-accept-just-1-billion-from-yahoo/ I will personally monitor responses to any coverage you post, and will participate in the conversation. I really want to be next on your blog, and will of course do all that I can to drive traffic to your site. -K kbaloun@gmail.com I think your readers would love this.
