99% of everything is crap.
I found it to be a funny observation, but let's face it, it's mostly true!
I was again reminded of it at the Geek Dinner last night in conversation with Robert Scoble. Robert was answering some questions I had for him about his book blogging experience.
Robert co-authored a book on Blogging with Shel Israel which they wrote online. Each chapter was put online as it was written and they gathered interesting feedback and anecdotes which influenced the writing of the book as they went.
Given the subject matter of the book, I asked if because the tech community have embraced blogs did that make it easier for him to garner an interested audience around the Naked Conversations blog, and whether it would be more difficult for other industries to achieve something similar.
Robert said something like:
"It's easy to generate an audience if you have something good. It's hard to do something good."
My curiousity about blogging a book all stemmed from the fact that myself and Bif have been chatting about doing a kids book in 2006.
It will have to be excellent.

Oh well, maybe we shouldn't bother then.
That's the spirit!
