Amazon.com Sales Rank

Hell, just slap 'Fair and Balanced' above on-line and maybe Fox will sue you too. Better send Dvorak into the Spin Zone and piss off O'Reilly to the point he has Fox Sue you.

You're gonna autograph my copy, right? ;-)

One better than Gary. Add a sticker that says, “This book NOT written by Al Franken, Rush Limbaugh or Martha Stewart.”

SRS – Sales Rank Syndrome. A behavior marked by frequently checking the sales rank of one's product sold on Amazon.com. It's an affliction suffered primarily by those new to the exciting world of online commerce. Don't forget to eat, sleep and the other things. Dr. Phil is going down.

yeah the whole suing thing to me was overboard but I do like fox alot. Anyway yeah you could try that and your book would go up likely top 10 :) i shall buy.

Best way to sell a book is to get all your “so-called” friends to buy it….not keep asking you for free copies.
Autographs? Yea, you can do that for a “fee”. Just the expense of getting the books, doing the actual signing, getting them boxed back up and sent back…. wow could spend your time a little more wisely. Nix the signing unless you are at some event to do it live? :-)

So Mr. Pirillo, in your next printed venture will you be writing a novel? Signed your biggest fan…=) I guess I wasnt the only one buying the book after all. Cheers!

Man chris…I love your computer set up. 2 flat monitors, then the labtop next to u…..wish my wife would let me do something like that ;)

Has this fag told why he left TechTv yet?

1) When they were commenting in the first book thread about the size of the book (696 pages), and somebody wrote “John and Chris must have a lot to say”, I did such a spit take!!!
2)”ONLINE: THE BOOK” – I wish I was still doing a website about oxymorons…
3) To REALLY sell the book, add a sticker that says: “Nothing in this book ever MENTIONS Al Franken, Rush Limbaugh or Martha Stewart” Add Dr. Phil too, and you'll have a sure winner.
4) And make sure Dvorak pisses off the RIGHT O'Reilly, ifyouknowwhatImean.

I was captivated by the Amazon shipping notice: “Due to this item's unusual size or weight, it requires special handling and will ship separately from other items in your order. ” You know what they say about a guy and the size of his book… oh nevermind. Nice work Chris.

Where's that disposable income when I need it? I'm sure I'll pick up a copy when I have some money, but for now it'll just have to go on the wish list!

Today is “Talk Like a Pirate Day”
Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!! Me Hearties!

Today is “Talk Like a Pirate Day”
Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!! Me Hearties!

Not now!
“Amazon.com Sales Rank: 14,731″ __________
The whole world is online now, huh?___”Shipping: Due to this item's unusual size or weight, it requires special handling and will ship separately from other items in your order.”__
Must be because of the combined egos of Chris and John C…

Why God? Why? I thought Chris Pirillo had a brain in his head, but I was wrong.

It's quite telling that a book about “Online!” has such a poorly designed website. Not only is this site the height of garishness and ugliness, the jpg images on the homepage are compressed down into nothing more than amateurish artifacted muck. As a result, I don't think I'll consider buying this book. It's all just to…hack-ish.

Where's your pride? How do you sleep at night putting out shit like this? You're con-men, nothing more. Hopefully people will realize what a total waste this book is before they spend their hard-earned money lining your greedy pockets. Shame on you!

I don't understand why the hell someone would publish this peace of shit. It was obviously written for the sole purpose of making money, nothing more. I feel sorry for those duped into buying this book

My first ever website was described by a friend of mine as a “technological terror”; and it was a shitload better than this one. I wonder if the book is of a similar calibre?

this is a piece of shit.. this page is making me go blind, why would i buy a book from someone about the internet who creates thier entire website out of over compressed .jpeg images! even the text on the main page is a pic.. now i shall leave before i go blind

This webpage is horrid, you should slay whatever pathetic creature was shameless enough to design it. Second of all out of curiosity I bought and read the book, or at least until I could not bear reading it further. I promptly returned it, and would like to add that your book like this page is a massive work of ineptitude and shamelessnes. I hope you die.

How can I request a review copy for our magazine? We are a low-budget nonprofit that advises
hundreds of union members on how to do websites. If we like the book,
we would recommend.

I Like Toast!

oh man…that was a horrendous web page…i have seen better pages made with geocities.

The book's web page does not do the book itself justice. I like this book very much because it is handy to give to simple computer users. But PLEASE improve the book's web page..

Damn! I was actually going to buy this book until I went to this web site! Talk about your ironies: set up a website to promote your book, and it actually chases customers away! Guess I'll just wait a couple of months until the book turns up at one of the “remainder” tables at Barnes and Noble for $5.99!

Before Al Gore invented the 'Net, there were few experts but there were FLAMERS. Now that there are books being written about an electronic medium…it would seem there are a lot more experts who know MUCH better than anyone else. Oh..boys…if it's so bad and the book so horrid…(to paraphrase Stevens) “Why does the Lady weep and why does the Angel stand guard?”
