There will be a flurry of speaking engagements in support of Now Is Gone at the end of the year for those who want to meet up.

On Tuesday,  December 3rd, I will be speaking at PubCon on a panel about reputation management.  This conference has a monster line-up, a hard core SEO focus that promises many insights, and will be the first time that I will hear Guy Kawasaki in person.

On Monday, December 10th, it’s the Social Media Club in Philadelphia at Independence Hall!  This is so cool for me, as this is my  hometown. It has not been announced yet, but I will be joined by Brian Williams, CEO of Viget Labs.   Brian’s a good friend, and his company built Squidoo and Squidwho for Seth Godin. Today, they are one of the best Ruby on Rails shops in the country.

In Boston, I will be the guest speaker for the fourth Social Media Breakfast.  This will be held on Monday, December 17, 2007, from 8:00-10:00am at The Wine Cellar at the Mooo Restaurant, at Fifteen Beacon Hotel in Downtown Boston. Thank you Bryan Person and Kyle Flaherty for setting this up.

If you can’t make one of these events, check this out! Peter Corbett created a group for Now Is Gone on Facebook. And Jane Quigley created a “Product” page for the book on Facebook as well. This after I kvetched about being unable to do it myself due to time constraints.  Thank you both very much.  Both Brian and I were thrilled!

Also, don’t forget.  There’s lots of content for those just beginning to dabble in social media as well as book-related info on the Now Is Gone blog. The current post, “The Public Relations Long Tail” has garnered a lot of interest as an attempt to paint a complete picture of both traditional and social media PR tools.
