There's a flurry of recent book activity. Here are a few of the books that have been published by AdMarketers and/or those in the Washington, DC area. Have you published a book lately? Tell us about it!

------------
Julie Kantor, of NFTE fame: I Said Yes!

I Said Yes! is about America's young people and what we can do to better serve them, especially the one in five living below the poverty line. You will be introduced to a growing movement that teaches entrepreneurship to young people from low-income communities, called the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship or NFTE (pronounced "nifty").

Geoff Livingston: now is gone

Mark Amtower, government marketing expert: Why Epiphanies Never Occur to Couch Potatoes

This is the book that started as a lunch speech (Amtower's Laws of Survival and Success) at the MeritDirect B2B Coop on July 14, 2005.
Since that time, it has taken on a life of its own, and now the book is out.

Kleiner Perkins Has Halted Investments in Web 2.0

A few pointers follow for those that don't have time (or RSS) to read the newspaper.

Did anyone see Monday's WashPost article on dc startupweekend? Did anyone participate? Pretty neat stuff- create a viable company in a weekend...

The other article in yesterday's paper was on funding for Web 2.0 companies. Greg Gershman, of blogdigger and now dc techbeat pointed to the following notice that Kleiner Perkins has halted investments in Web 2.0 companies.

Is anyone starting a 'Web 2.0' company? Do you think that startup funding is easier or harder to get than it was in the 90's? A better question is probably if someone can give us a definition of what 'Web 2.0' really means :-)
