NESTA publishes Social by Social

posted by Dominic Campbell on Tuesday, 07 July 2009 at 00:44
Social by Social is a "practical guide to using new technologies to deliver social impact". More than just theory it gets into the detail of how and why, as well as hearing from some of the people making this stuff happen (no bias from me at all given I wrote a chapter... ;) )

Hi Martin- The free PDF version is coming shortly; just waiting on a few more layout changes/approvals. Thanks!

Hi Amy, great, good to hear it : )

I think this book is a figment of someone's imagination. I ordered it (from http://www.socialbysocial.com) paid for it (they took the money straight away) and, despite emails to them and a phone call to Nesta, have heard nothing since.(Now a month later).

Hey Anna- I just replied to your email but wanted to follow up with you here, too. The Social by Social team doesn't have any connection to the actual print-on-demand service NESTA chose as the book supplier. We can't provide any details there as such. I did forward your email to NESTA and request they provide a status update on your order ASAP and believe you should get a response from Todd at NESTA shortly.

We are really excited to hear your ideas and thoughts once you do receive the book! We don't have copies ourselves either, so don't think you're alone.

Until then, you are free to download the PDF of the book or read it for free online.

Thanks for your interest!
Amy

Hi Martin-
I emailed the folks who are working on the PDF and other distribution items for the book; they said next week it should be up!
