Collaborative Book Project
What started as a random message on twitter, has now spiraled into something larger.
I sent this message on Twitter asking if anyone would like to co-author a book with me using Twitter and Web as medium. Idea was to use Twitter as a communication medium to write a book. I did not have a clue what the book would be on. What the title would be. What the storyline would be. How would we collaborate. I just wanted to see if people would want to participate in this experiment. And yes, in less than an hour, 5 people had replied.
Siyab, SimplyArun, kv, Asfaq and gsik agreed to be a part of the experiment. We soon exchanged emails and figured how would be go about it. I shall keep updating this once we flesh out the details.
Keep tuned.

An interesting typo there “Idea was to sue Twitter as a communication medium to write a book.” :-)
Seriously though this sounds like an interesting project and I look forward to seeing how this works out as you USE Twitter to get this done. Sounds like it will be fun.

@chet .. lol Thanks for pointing out the bug. It actually gives me an awesome idea. What if the book had tons of easter eggs and people can find those out if they wanted to ?
@arun … thanks for accepting. Looking forward to working with you.

despite “chet’s” pointing out, i see that the typo has not been untypoed, anyhow i take the typo as an interesting one(i actually was wondering for quite sometime as to what it could mean b4 getting down to comments!).
yeah, me too; even i’d like the privilege of being included in this exciting project!

Hi Brijesh, corrected it :)
And all the slots are full right now. In case someone drops out or we make it larger, will let you know.
Thanks,
SG
