As a writer, I am always searching for places online to share my thoughts, ideas and tips with others. So I am excited to share with you a conversation I had with Liz about Yudu.
Liz, welcome and please let the readers know about what makes you excited to be working with Yudu?
Hi Teresa!
I love talking about the folks at YUDU! Jonathan and Lisa have the souls of bloggers, but I guess that’s a possible hazard of being a digital publisher. They care about getting great content onto the net in ways that are easier, faster, more efficient, and greener.

Liz, I have the distinctive pleasure of working with you on creating some things on Yudu –can you first tell the readers what Yudu is all about?
YUDU is a digital publishing community that’s still in beta, but quite functional. What you’ll find at http://www.yudu.com is a combination of features I’ve not found anywhere on the net. You can upload digital publications with live hyperlinks on a beautiful presentation platform that looks like you’re delivering your document on stainless steel. YUDU has private and open groups, messaging, and even subscriptions. We can share libraries, explore, publish, sell. It’s too much to answer in one paragraph.

And please let them know about the great writing groups & opportunities we are starting to create?

Teresa, I’m really excited about the writing groups that you and I are putting together. YUDU has a unique feature that allows a member to gather a visual collection of blog home pages or blog posts. So, it seems only right to start a group that features Great Writing Blogs and a group of ebooks on How-to Write was the next idea.

What makes Yudu such a benefit to writers and authors?
Writers and YUDU seem made for each other. Most writers are looking for inspriration and connection to the work of other writers. We also want a place to keep our work featured and organized. YUDU offers a way to explore, learn, publish, sell all in one place. Very cool.

Are there other new features coming out in the future to share with the readers?
I can’t wait until the forums open in the next few weeks. Then we’ll be able to directly Q&A about the issues and obstacles that mean the most to us as writers.

Now on to a more personal note: What is coming up for you Liz?
Well, right now I’m working on SOBCon09, Biz School for Bloggers. (http://www.sobevent.com) . I’m working on more virtual classwork with the universities in the UK. http://www.successful-blog.com/1/the-trans-atlantic-class-at-the-legendary-school-of-journalism/ Then there’s some exciting client work on this side of the water.

Thanks Liz for sharing with us about Yudu and some neat things coming up for you. I am looking forward to continuing working with you on Yudu projects.

P.S. I like the mantra of Yudu—Giving experts a voice.

I will keep you posted about the happenings and updates with Yudu. In the meantime, I do hope you will take some time and check Yudu out. Please come back here and give us your opinions, ideas, comments and suggestions.
