You are writing a book about the advantages and potential pitfalls of using online collaboration systems for virtual team projects. You would like to include several dozen reallife examples from people in a variety of industries. Fortunately, you publish a highly respected blog on the subject, with several thousand regular readers.
Your task Write a post for your blog that asks readers to submit brief descriptions of their experiences using collaboration tools for team projects. Ask them to email stories of how well a specific system or approach worked for them. Explain that they will receive an autographed copy of the book as thanks, but they will need to sign a release form if their stories are used. In addition, emphasize that you would like to use real names-of people, companies, and software-but you can keep the anecdotes anonymous if readers require. To stay on schedule, you need to have these stories by May 20.
