What do readers think of the following idea?

I've been working on this blog for over two years, and written a lot of articles. Some are tosh, some are quite good (I'm told).

I could put a lot of time and effort into a book on the future of telecom and networks.

I could put a lot of time and effort into writing a book on the future of telephony/IM/personal communications/presence.

Or I could say "sod that", get an editor, and re-cycle what I've got into a kind of smorgasbord of clippings from the event horizon of telecom and have it printed onto a load of Finnish wood pulp.

Obviously, there's quite a bit of work to transcribe stuff into the paper medium, un-URLify some it all. Give more context and introduction to the material. Lessen the minimum necessary reader IQ to something below 130.

Thoughts? Do you think anyone would find such a tome useful? Know any editor or publisher who might be interested?

Or have I just wasted 60 seconds for about 3000 people...? (You might not pay for blog content with your money, but I'm damn well going to take your time instead!)
