It sounded interesting, so I put in my name and will be one of 275 people (listed below) contributing a single page 400-word essay on the theme of &#8220;Why Don&#8217;t People Get It?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s where I need your help.  When I signed up several months ago, May 15th, the deadline for contributions, seemed eons away.  But May 15th is suddenly next week, and because I&#8217;ve been distracted by finishing up my degree, I haven&#8217;t started on my essay yet.  I signed up to write on the topic of Business Model Evolution, and could use some help in brainstorming.  I have the noodlings of some ideas, but I&#8217;m sure I can do better with the help of another few people.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if anybody is willing to be an editor, that&#8217;d be great as well.  I would just post drafts here on the blog, but the organizers have requested that essays not be posted before the book is released.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
