Or, apply the 90/10 rule… read Long Tail, Faster, Naked, Hobson/Holtz, Cluetrain and Wikinomics — and call it a summer.
Or add The Starfish and the Spider, and The Company of Strangers.
Does anyone read Jeremy Wright any more since he made up that story about being strip searched by US Homeland Security in the Toronto airport?
I enjoyed Paul Gillin’s book, The New Influencers.
Allan: Thanks for the condensed version. Few of use have time to read a box of books.
Lois Kelly’s “Beyond Buzz: The Next Generation of Word of Mouth Marketing”.
SHe’s a client of mine – for full disclosure – and the book is a fantastic read as well as her blog.
Thanks for including me in your Great Blogs of Fire list. I’m excited to be able to be the caboose on a summer’s worth of social media books!
