Naked Conversations (Scoble)
For the past five years, Microsoft employee Scoble has maintained one of the most popular blogs on the Internet.

In this breezy book, Scoble and coauthor Israel argue that every business can benefit from smart "naked" blogging, whether the company's a smalltown plumbing operation or a multinational fashion house.
