More Space presents nine current business bloggers writing in their own unique styles. Each author challenges the premise that places of business can only be cold and uninspiring. By sharing their own experiences they offer up ways for you to re-ignite passion and enthusiasm in your work.
From the Introduction:
"I wanted to see what would happenif you gave business bloggers more space to develop the ideas they write about every day. The trouble with weblogs is that they are best for short-form writing. Each entry is normally a couple hundred words containing a single thought- and that thought is normally a response to something someone else has already written.

What is so unique about More Space?
Here is what the More Space contributors find intriguing...
"Every single author has something new and interesting to say. For me that's more than enough. New and interesting are in short supply." - Seth Godin, author of Purple Cow and All Marketers Are Liars
"The people! Some of the best and brightest that blogging has to offer. I love the pure diversity of the topics. It's not like it's all techy (like it could have been), and none of it is really about blogging, which is exciting. Yes, bloggers do talk about something besides blogging.!" - Jeremy Wright
"I've never had the opportunity to write about business in such a personal way. I've always suspected there was a place where the personal and professional collided. Here is the space." - Jory Des Jardins
"The fact that all these people, none of whom are 'headline business thinkers', have such amazingly cool and interesting things to say." - Curt Rosengren
