The past weekend before the presentation I took a leap (apparently only a baby step) and posted on the Lulu general forum, seeking insight. I was met with few, but helpful comments. The most interesting part is that though there are only 3 replies in the thread that are not mine there are 104 views. Like many other threads the replies are few and the views many.
I also wonder if this has anything to do with the how recent of the thread. I will be posting some more specific questions/topics and see what comes of it.
I had the opportunity to do two interviews in the past week: One with author of Double Life Dawson Vosburg the other with Lulu's Director of Online Marketing Dan London. Both were a pleasure to chat with and helped give me some much needed perspective. Coming posts will have detailed interviews on each.
Presentation Questions/Comments:
The user blog option was removed because a)general lack of use, b)because the system wasn't as comprehensive as other blogging sites (which likely contributed to a). Users have the option to import blogs from outside Lulu using RSS feed.
I'm a little concerned that I didn't properly explain or lay the ground about self-publishing/the process.
So if there are any unanswered questions or anything that was unclear give me a heads up.
I also got the feeling that there was interest in rights (copy-write, publishing-writes). I'll make sure to find out more and include a briefing about this in paper.
