Last Friday, I had the opportunity to moderate a fantastic panel in Palo Alto on Technology and Journalism. The experts included Mike Swift (Reporter for the Mercury News on Facebook and Google), Aaron Selverston (Editor, Palo Alto Patch.com), Dylan Tweney (Executive Editor of VentureBeat) and Angie Chang (Editor, Women 2.0). Here are some pics of the panel!

Bookies, We're Off to the Races!

The journey to publish The Coolest Startups of America has started (up)! I realized a few weeks ago that there are so many people to update about the book’s progress, and so many more people who are finding out about the book and want to stay in touch. I posed this challenge to my new author friend Jenny Blake (Life After College) who encouraged me to well… blog about the book.

I’m excited to let you know about all the twists and turns and cliffhangers in the publishing process. Whether I self-publish or go the big-time publisher track, I’ll be happy to update you on my book journey. I hope you’ll join in the conversations, nominate startups you think are cool, and share the new website for the book!

Happy Reading,
Doreen
