    @eshiler I'm thrilled at how it came out. There's just a few left... the press itself is older than me. ^sg

    #pokethebox Seth: even with the flaws, do traditional publishers fill an important niche that "new" or self-publishing does not?

    Seth, welcome to Twitter! If you work for a big company that is NOT pokable what do you do? Some people can't leave. #pokethebox

    @ramonray 2 issues here. A, I don't think that it's true that there's no room for initiative, and B, I'm not sure that most people can't lv.

    @gregorylmartin I think it's all about making promises. That's why 'beta' works as a label. It's a promise of non-perfection. ^sg

    @AnneBraudy We're trying to make a point, to create abundance instead of scarcity. So far, it's working. Readership is way up. ^sg

    Seth, I understand why people who work for corps don't start cool new projects, but what stops solo artists & biz people? #pokethebox

    @MrBuzzFactor Resistance. The lizard brain. The fear of failure. It's the enemy, and it doesn't matter where you work or what you do.

    @Ju_Summerhayes I think our curiosity is under assault from many fronts, including school, bosses and mothers-in-law.

    @PeterTurner Build it! Don't wait to be picked, pick yourself. I didn't have a base, no one did. The magic of the web is that you can... ^sg

    Guilty. How to stop keeping idea notebooks & focus on shipping? Or does that just happen when focused on shipping? #pokethebox

    @rosiemedia Acknowledging it is the first step. The key is not to reward yourself for writing down an idea, the key is to reward shipping.
