Moleskine citizen marketers

I'm a Moleskine evangelist. My buddy Bruce gave me one as a gift a few years back, and I've been a convert since.

It's difficult to explain why. There's not an atom of high-tech about it. It's old-school calm and Italian-craftsman confident. It's an antidote to the increasing level of digital bits that infiltrate our working lives.

Moleskine has a fair share of citizen marketers, too: An impressive fan blog, a Flickr photoset, a Squidoo lens, a MySpace group and a comprehensive Wikipedia entry.

COMMENTS

I'm a moleskine evangelist but didn't know they had a blog. I love how unobtrusive it is and while it's smaller than a tablet PC, it only takes about 1.5 seconds to boot it up. NO problems with battery life, either.-)

Thanks for letting me know about their blog.

I'm LOL about a 1.5 second boot-up time. No blue screens, either.

Today turning a project meeting, my partner Jackie was entering notes into her notes into our Basecamp project file, and I was entering my notes into my Moleskine.
