Johanson Wed, 13 Jan 2010 06:47:52 +0000 #comment-1821 Sometimes you come across a techy trend book that is written by a complete outsider and couldn't be more inaccurate. Other times, you come across a book like the "Facebook Era", where the expert in the field imparts her knowledge in digestible and easily parsed chunks. You couldn't ask for a better guide to the intersecting world of enterprise and social than the person who's at the forefront of it in Silicon Valley and the entire tech community. Clara Shih meticulously captures her in-the-field knowledge in this book, and any executive who aims to keep their company abreast of the latest developments will find valuable guidance in her words.

Oftentimes books like this tend to get out of date quickly--anything written about the web runs that risk--but happily, the book also manages to address enough fundamental concepts that it should stay viable for a long time. . . excellent read!

By now, it seems most of the world actively participates in some sort of social network site (don't forget about Myspace and Linkedin), so understanding the best practices for marketing a product or service is vital for any long-term success. Shih delivers a nice bundle of information to help even the novice gain a better understanding of the social networking landscape; it's getting pretty tricky out there, and all the various applications can be daunting; navigating through the system efficiently is critical for maintaining any successful marketing initiatives. With a million and a half people actively engaged on Facebook alone at any given moment, we're solidly entrenched in an new era of network marketing; so we'd better understand the game plan. This book greatly helps us maximize our opportunities to reach new audiences and market our goods & services in the most efficient, on-line manner. That's a good value for anyone.

This book is a good starting point to understanding that potential. Don't get left behind!
