Gone but Not Forgotten! Check Out the TMR 2008 Blog

What a great event this was! The 2008 Top Management Roundtable: Constant Content and Autonomous Authors meeting may be history, but that doesn't mean you can't continue talking about it. Visit the TMR 2008 blog for more discussion and insights into how the era of empowered authors is changing the way publishers think and work.
