I know I'm totally late to the party in recognizing that ChangeThis has new owners, but it's still worth mentioning to those who don't know, haven't heard the news, or haven't visited the ChangeThis site.
ChangeThis was founded by an idea from Seth Godin and was built by 5 interns in summer 2004. The site is now 'under new management' by 800-CEO-Read and after a 5-month hiatus is back publishing manifestos on the site.
If you haven't checked out ChangeThis before, now's your opportunity to download and read some pretty interesting articles from a variety of well-known, and not-so-well-known, people on various topics. Did I mention that it's all FREE? The site is all about spreading the word --the 'ideavirus' as Seth Godin would say. Check it out.
Some of the newer manifestos include:
- Tom Peters "Tomato TomA[h]to"
- David St. Lawrence "Danger: Quicksand (Have a Nice Day)" -- be sure to check out David's blog 'Ripples' if you are interested in buying his book
- Tom Peters "100 Ways to Help You Succeed/Make Money, Part 1"
- Rosa Say "Managing with Aloha"
- and many more...
Some older manifestos worth checking out include:
- Seth Godin "Do Less"
- Robert Scoble "The Corporate Weblog Manifesto"
- Tom Peter's "This I Believe"
- Hugh MacLeod "How to Be Creative" -- be sure to check out Hugh's site, gapingvoid, because he's been posting quite a bit lately on "How to Be Creative" and the journey to get his book from the manifesto published
- Malcolm Gladwell "The Talent Myth"
- Brendon Connelly "Slacker @ Work"
- Ole Eichhorn "The Tyranny of Email"
Something to keep your eye on. New Manifestos come out every month and be sure to subscribe to their newsletter for advance warning.







Thanks for mentioning my book and my blog. Thanks also for visiting my blog and leaving comments.
