Testing the Tipping Point

Traffic 18 - 24 August 2006Yesterday I wrote about Google's recent promotion of my traffic module. You can see in the graphic on the right the profound impact that had on my blog traffic (it might be time to reread my series on using Google modules to drive traffic).

I've been reading a book called The Tipping Point which was recommended to me by my friend Jeffrey. The book explores the phenomena that turn events into epidemics -- how little changes can have a dramatic impact on the spread of an idea. I feel like I'm experiencing a portion of a tipping point. And I'm excited about it.

In the next few weeks I'm going to try to put together a web site for mapping all of the downloads of my novel and allow readers to mark where they are geographically and comment on the book. I think it will be fun for people to be able to interact regarding The Agency Delta and see the thoughts of other readers online.

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded The Agency Delta. Thanks for helping to tip the readership!

Comments

The Tipping Point is one of my favorite books. His follow-up, Blink, is worth the read too.

I think that sounds like a cool idea. I know I love seeing the visitor module on the blog. Associating it with the book and feedback sounds awesome.
