"That said, web projects are a terrific place to see content strategy in action. At the project level, we see almost immediately how content strategy’s tools and methods can literally transform how we consider and care for our content, how they can streamline processes and conserve resources. We can quickly measure our customers’ reactions to finally getting useful, usable, engaging, actionable content." - Halvorson

Richard, I'm planning to buy your book, and Kristina's too, for that matter. I'm in the University of Michigan School of Information master's program after 19 years as a daily newspaper editor and manager. I just heard about Content Strategy a few weeks ago as a career field and am pretty excited about it. Thanks for having a blog, and I'll be back here frequently, now that I have a potential direction (in addition to Info Arch and Usability) for my studies. Best regards, M.
