I did a radio interview this morning and one of the questions was how does an idea become a chapter in the book.<\/p>\n

Well it has actually gone through a few filters, as you may know from my Great but not great enough post that is the first big filter.<\/p>\n

For every blog post that makes it about 3 don’t. \u00a0So for the 300 or odd so posts that are live, about 900 haven’t.<\/p>\n

Then for those that made it live, the filter was based on popularity, my personal favourites and relevance.<\/p>\n

By the time it has made it to the book, it has gone through three filters, at each step ideas have been refined, questioned, and put back together.<\/p>\n

All I am doing is providing a series of filters, where at each step the most remarkable stuff makes it through and the rest drops off.<\/p>\n

This is all that YouTube does, or that email newsletter, or the people you follow on twitter. \u00a0They provide a filtered view of the mass content. \u00a0By following and engaging you get access to the end result.<\/p>\n
