I just got an email from the VP of Marketing for LaserJet, Vince Ferraro:
Our blog is quoted as part of the popular book, Groundswell.

How I came to get a copy of Web Design for ROI: Turning Browsers into Buyers & Prospects into Leads is really a great example of the social graph at work.
Lance Loveday was looking for some bloggers to read and review the book he co-authored with Sandra Niehaus (apparently first time authors are completely responsible […]
