I'm Crowdsourcing My Book, Flipped

In 2004, Beyond the Brand was published. At the time, I wanted to title the book, Co-Creation. The publisher said that co-creation would never be a sticky term. So, they named the book Beyond the Brand. While the book got some great momentum and a good following it never really took off as much as we wanted it to.

I was excited when Agate, decided to publish our new book, Baked In, which is coming out this fall. At the same time, Doug, Eileen and the Agate folks wanted to republish Spark and, Beyond the Brand with a twist. Instead of republishing Beyond the Brand, we've taken the book down to its core ideas around co-creation. As one of the first books to talk about co-creation, we're renaming the book Flipped: How Bottom-Up Co-creation is Replacing Top-Down Innovation to better reflect it's content. I'm really excited about the new name and format. It is much more inline with Spark and Baked In.

Since Flipped is five years old I've needed to update a lot of things. Co-creation, and its child, crowdsourcing, have made a huge impact on the way business works in the last few years. My sense is that we're only at the beginning.

To get the point across about the power of co-creation, I've decided to crowdsource both editing and examples for the book. I invite you to participate in this experiment. I've placed the whole manuscript on a wiki and invite you to participate in the creation of Flipped.

The only instructions I have are: 1. go to the wiki: here and insert you're email. I'll get a notice and then approve you as a writer. 2. Then you can start having fun. Add comments, examples and what ever else you think will make Flipped a better book.

As a reward, I'll include you as a co-author in Flipped.

This is an experiment, so let's take a journey together and see how well this works.

Thanks for your help.

John,

I saw Bob Sutton's post about your project. Delighted to see that you chose PBworks for this project. Let me know if there's anything we can do to help out. We did something similar for Tim Ferriss a couple of years back.

Tom: YOU ROCK!!! One hour? Holy Poop! I knew it didn't last long, but that's insane! After lonoikg up the name, I realize that it is invasive and many people don't like it. Too bad one man's trash is another man's treasure. I love the detail and the beauty even if it's not on the A list of plants. But then again, I'm always for the underdog . Thank you so much for the wonderful identification! You've educated myself as well as others! YOU THE MAN!Drowsey: Thanks my Northern Friend! I'm glad I caught it at it's best hour HA,HA,HA!!! Get it best hour ? Lana: Isn't Tom a smarty farty? I'll make a mental note of Dave's Garden , sounds like a great resource. Aliens are amongst us! He, he, he

. Only the word of God and prayer will build that fwsloelhip in Jesus Christ then your part is to obey (John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.) But the Christian life isn't just trying to earn what has already been given to you, if you place your realtionship (fellowship) with Jesus Christ as the first and most important priority in your life all the other things will fall into place. We make the mistake of doing exactly what the world does, we judge our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ by what they do and then say you call yourself a Christian! . If a person tells you that they believe (the only condition God has for us) that Jesus Christ died for my sin and shed His blood, paid for my sins with His blood then they are a Christian whether they live like one or not. This world is filled with baby Christians because they aren't getting fed the word of God they get this philosophy and psychology junk and what they can get out of it instead of having a compassion for lost souls on the way to hell. The Bible warns us about this happening in the church and yet most Christians ignore it. The apostacy of the church is a sign of the end of the church age, we don't know when but It's closer then yesterday! Faith is believing in things you can't see, you can't wear your faith on the bumper of your car, last wek I saw acar with the fish in one corner and then one of those guys peeing on a Chevy in the other corner. The way you live does have an affect on your relationship with Jesus Christ, you can be a Christian and out of fwsloelhip with Jesus Christ which is a carnal Christian no real joy just fake lovey dovey garbage.

M: in other words your people (the Jews) were nhtiong more than economic middlemen, doing the least amount of work (producing nhtiong) yet getting a large chunk of the profit (even though they actually didn't produce anything, remember). Yup, that about sums up the Jewish economic role right there parasitism pure and simple.And no I won't harp on about Gen. U.S. Grant's attempted mass-expulsion of your kin-folk as a class in 1862 from no less than three Southern states because of their attempt to corner and/or otherwise manipulate the cotton market but of course Honest Abe' was there to save the day again!Next why don't you tell us about the secret relationship between Blacks and Jews' in The South, about how the earliest synagogues and largest Jewish communities were in places like Charleston [SC], Newport [RI], and New Orleans [LA], which also were coincidentally' the cities where nearly all of America's African slaves were imported in to. Seems to me and many other honest scholars that America's Jews were extremely prominent organizers, facilitators, and middlemen in that trade as well, they just had so many contacts with their Sephardic cousins over there in the UK and Holland along with North Africa ya know, it was like one big happy Jew triangular trade the trade in Africans.Human trafficking still looms large in Jewish society, in fact. Israel is a world center of human trafficking they specialize in young and beautiful White women/girls from Eastern Europe along with young and beautiful Arab girls/women from all over the Middle East too. Haven't you heard?
