It doesn’t get much simpler than that; you can now read the almost-certainly-about-to-be-a-best-seller book Free, the Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson, the author of old-skool social media gospel Long Tail, right here online.

0

I initially volunteered to help with Changecamp, but warned them at the beginning I wouldn’t be able to help pull it off in May, and the way May turned out I had no chance to help out when they switched it to June, either. So the least I can do is post this, eh? VanChangeCamp […]
