I bet nobody genuinely has a valid ‘reason’ why they need a copy.

so i won’t bs you - but i really want a copy, one of the signed copies.

I wont BS you either… you can keep it. lol.

I am a graduating college senior with a degree in marketing and looking to tackle a few Web 2.0/social networking ideas I have. This book will help me learn from others mistakes, build on my ideas and will be the deal breaker on whether or not I hate Sarah Lacy.

Because I’m still at my first attempt… Will be good to learn why I’m lucky and how to become good at this attempt instead of the second one.

I believe that this book will help me because I am about to go into college this fall and it will help me with my study of web development.

This book will help me the most because its this book.

I’ve been trying to get “lucky” since the mid-70’s. Ain’t happened yet. I think I really need a copy of Sarah’s book so I can finally see what it will be like once it finally happens!

I’m not gonna make up some crap about why I’d like to get this book. But it sounds interesting enough and there’s only one other comment so if you want I’d like a copy also.

I won your last book giveaway, so if I win this one I will be “Good” according to the book I am trying to win….

Thanks……..Rob

As web developer its always good to be up to date in the latest trends of the industry, I actually like her

I would love to get a copy of this book; if I’ve ever seen a title that matches my career, this is it. I’ve created one successful web 2.0 company, and I’ve got my next major venture in the pipeline soon to be released. Hopefully this book could guide me to my second successful company (I’ll make sure to get it featured on TC too ). Thanks.

This book will help me weigh down the random paper I have on my desk that the cats keep knocking off. DAMNIT CAT, GET DOWN.

I want a copy because I’ve got a few projects that I’m working on and really interested to read what she and others have to say about the “web 2.0″ era. Plus, I fully agree with the title. From what I read on Amazon, it’ll be an interesting read that I look forward to.

I will probably buy a copy anyways, but hopefully I am lucky enough to get a copy of the book from you guys and good enough to make all my ideas work!

Come on Mark, you know you want to pick me.

Because for every startup that is coming out with the next best thing, there is just as much of a need for existing companies to learn how to take stock of what they did right, where they failed and how they can make a better go of it this time around.

An existing company with another time around? Yes, a company recreates itself with each new product - so it’s increasingly important to get it right every time the culture changes.

I think this book really helps shine a light on what works and what doesn’t and it would be very valuable.

I need a copy because I think this will be a great reference for my upcoming book “Once You’re UnLucky, Twice You’re …”

Two reasons:

1. I am on my second startup (first one was sold out to a .com) and the current one is doing well and growing, so I would like to feed my ego by having verification in book form that I am good, not lucky

2. I would like to carry the book around, and show it to people who talk down to everyone else just because they worked at a company that had a good exit.

Because my witty comments are what keeps this blog rolling.

I like free books.

Sarah Lucy is super hot, this is simply why i want to read one her book !

I can’t say very much about Sarah Lacy, but the blurb sounds interesting and is close to the research I’m doing in grad school (mashups and leveraging “web 2.0″ to support end user programming). In the end I’d really like to find a way to leverage what’s out there to create and sell a product. So reading a book about the lessons learned in the Web 2.0 world would be a great help.

Given the fact that I’m working on my first start-up right now, and plan on there being others– I need all the insight and information I can get. I’m also too poor to buy new books so a free one would be awesome!

I need this book because I need to know how I can create an even larger personal PR buzz around myself than the person I am interviewing who is one of the “hottest” web celebs around at the moment (Mr Zuckerberg).

Surely one of the greatest PR lessons ever taught?

I’m a web developer in Canada currently working at a startup with some new graduates and we need all the help we can get.

I need a copy because I’m feeling lucky.

While I agree with Lawrence that I won’t die if I don’t receive the book (although I could potentially die if I did get the book and the extra weight caused my bookcase to topple over and squash me), I would like a copy because social media is the specific area of research I will be studying while pursuing my PhD, beginning this fall. Therefore, every book I can read on the topic will aid in increasing my knowledge base on the subject.

I am willing to risk death by bookcase if you are willing to give me a copy … What do you think?

How this book will help me? Bonus points for creativity?

Really, the best things I can think of that it will help me do are as follows:

Run faster
Jump Higher
Grow Taller
Be More Attractive to Women
Become and Amazing Orator
Grant Me Multiple Honorary Degrees From Each Ivy League School
Help Me Start a Small Site On the Internet That Connects People
Give Me Great Stock Tips The Day Before They Are Needed
Grow My Small Connecting Internet Site Into a Multi-Billion Dollar Behemoth
Make Adriana Lima Fall In Love With Me
Get Me Interviewed By Sarah Lacy For Her Next Book: “Three Times, You Are Andrew Cafourek”

These are all the things I think this book will help me do.

Hi,

I don’t know why I need this book, but I just like free stuffs.

I think this book would be a great read! Especially after having read “The world is Flat”, i really want another point of view into his hypothesis! Also, being a Computer Engineering student about to graduate next year in Canada, I think it will give me a good insight into the business that I’m studying for nearly every day!

This book will help me with my fetish for buying books and never reading them! I really do love to read.

This month, I am writing a masters thesis for grad school (seminary to be precise) on Web 2.0 principles and best practices and how they might benefit Christian non-profits if incorporated into their communication strategies. It looks like this book may be a relevant resource to study. I would love a free advanced copy.

This book will help my company the most because I suck at explaining crap and she can explain everything a lot better.

For on the plane “ride

Mix of Video and Text :) 

Can I get a copy? I want to see if there’s a chapter on business models.

I’d buy one but it’s $18. And I’d need to read that chapter first before I could swing that.

Considering I was young and naive enough to jump into the web world post “right after” the dot com crash without realizing it’s true impact, this book may help me understand if my “dumb luck” will run out one day. Or in any case it should at least be an interesting read and conversational topic among friends. I bet I’d get lots of interesting looks reading it in public by those who recognize her name.

Hey, Can I get you to plug my Web 2.0 book too?! Lots of great interviews with big named companies and sites. Lots of insights on Web 2.0, SaaS, Web 3.0 / Semantic Web, and “what’s next”. If TechCrunch sends me a copy of Sarah’s book, I’ll send you a couple of copies of mine to Twitter about and plug. Web 2.0 Heroes is full of great quotes and insightful information. Check out Web 2.0 Heroes (http://books.internet.com/books/0470241993 ).

Because everyone that comes over complains that they’ve finished the John Hodgeman book in the bathroom.

Ater sitting through her terrible interview during SXSW, and not being one of the folks who made a nasty comment to her, I think I deserve a book!

the harder I work, the luckier I get.

on that basis, a short comment will never win me a book (but here’s hoping), but it is true; for even the most talented sportsmen the more they practise, the greater probability they “win”

I actually have the book pre-ordered and was going to send it to Sarah (after reading it, of course) asking her to sign it for me. However, if my Indians trounce her A’s this week, I doubt that she’d do it. I would then have to send her cute pix of my cat and beg.

So I’d much prefer to win one!

Thanks!

Because I’ve only got lucky once and I’m hoping Sarah Lacey can help with the second time so I can be “good”….

Honestly, I’ve had a streak of good things happening to me lately, so why not add on to that by winning this book which will educated me even further about web 2.0. I am not an entrepreneur or a VC, I am just a fan of many of the things going on these days involving communications and the internet. Blogs such as TechCrunch help me keep up with new developments and finding out cool new services which may be useful, but Sarah’s book will help me understand even more about how these businesses came to be, and how they marketed themselves in order to get me to become a user.

That is why I should win the book

P.S.

also because I am awesome

I hope she at least covers some tech women in the book… from what I have been hearing it’s all male centric.

Reading Sarah Lacy’s newly released “Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good” will provide me with the historical reference I need in order to successfully launch my Start-Up online media company, thereby contributing to the evolution of online media and high technology.

Knowledge is all about history. Without an accurate, diligent and humble account of any historical period, whether ancient Rome or the history of Silicon Valley, we lack adequate frames of reference through which to understand our past and, therefore, are impeded when charting a course of our future. We rely on story tellers, journalists and theoreticians like Lacy to make sense of the shortcomings of our past.

I admit that I am also one of the few who supported Lacy when she was recently lynched by bloggers and the twittosphere following her one on one interview with Mark Zuckerberg at SXSW. This was not the bloody Dalai Lama, so her laid back style and flirtatious interludes were excusable. Should her book bet met with a smashing debut, this would be a fitting flipping-of-the-bird (if you will) to all the schmucks who had little better to do that evening than attack Lacy.

In short, give me a copy of the book to enlarge by $35 the espresso budget for the room full of malnourished developers at this ambitious little company, and to increase my odds of having a third successful company, thereby increasing my odds of being a case study in Lacy’s second book: “Thrice You’re %#$@-ing On Fire.”

The reason why I would love to win a copy of the book is that I think it will be really beneficial in implementing the information and strategies here in Australia.

Australia hasn’t had as much of a tech boom as Silicon Valley, and so this would be a great way to learn from those that have been there, and experienced Silicon Valley life.

Also, it would be greatly beneficial in other Web 2.0 programs that are being run here.

Would be incredible to have a copy.

Thanks,
Josh

I actually heard about this book somewhere else and if I’d had Mento then or had dugg it, or made it a delicious link, I could tell you where. But I’m a slacker and I didn’t. I do really want the book but have ordered way too many books recently like for example, I ordered 8 copies of The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need for my son and all his friends. Anyways, I like to be in the know about life on the web, just had to do a presentation on Web 2.0: What’s the Buzz? - http://www.slideshare.net/dese.....s-the-buzz - and would appreciate a signed copy of Sarah Lucy’s book to be even more in the know.

the book will help me draw blog traffic.

since i’m an ultra-fast reader and i would have a copy before the rest of the world, i could have the whole thing read and reviewed before the herd.

my post would get to the front of google and linked around the blogosphere and hopefully get me some new subscribers…

oh yeah, and it would probably help sara too

First time I thought I was ‘unlucky’ , next time I was ‘bad’. I’m trying again.. and I can’t go wrong benefiting from this book.

Will help me improve my English reading skills
