Fall Already!   

Just as a heads up, we've already seen a few Fall catalogs start trickling in, just this morning in fact. Also, tomorrow is March already. Some days it's just easier to shrug and consult your calendar.

Feature Highlight: Title Buzz Tracking
One of the fun things about showing people how to use Edelweiss is simply the HUGE variety of you out there. Some of you are veterans with specific questions, some of you are checking us out for the first time, and you all use things a little differently according to your own personalities and organizational needs. It's kind of fascinating, in its own right. It's often tempting to dig deep and highlight some advanced Edelweiss Jedi features (don't you worry, some of those are coming up soon), but we also often answer very simple but still great questions.

For example: "So, what the heck is this?"

That question has recently come up a few times regarding the "Title Buzz Tracking" stuff.

We've set up a system that tracks when titles start developing buzz on Twitter, Google Blogs, and Goodreads. This feature simply shows you when a title is being discussed on these social media sites. If you actually click on the meters (see image) you'll be able to see what people are actually saying about this book. It can be pretty helpful to know that a book is getting pre-publication buzz when making that frontlist buying decision.  When you click on the meters to see what people are saying, chances are you'll see your colleagues, at least the people who get advanced copies, talking up what may be that next big book. .
