I gives you accurate information about the current trend of Social Media but the problem is that in the year since it was published, some of the information is no longer valid. Such is the case with anything to do with technology. There is enough basic information to get the new comer to social media involved and up and running with the platform. It does read slowly though, so be prepared for it to take a lot longer than an hour a day. good social media background info

Adam Penenberg tells the story of businesses that achieved stunning success by using the new forces of social networking. But it turns out that these forces are not so new after all: Viral Loop is also the story of how the Tupperware company used the old-fashioned kind of social networking--word-of-mouth and parties-- to expand into a cookware giant. If you like Malcolm Gladwell, you'll love Viral Loop, though I think Penenberg does a better job of tying everything together and revealing the big picture. It's also just a good story, as you watch these innovators and entrepreneurs struggle with failure--and success--and rivalries and see how they often didn't realize at first what was so great about their great idea. The book is also about the ways in which technology is changing our lives--for better or for worse--and how creativity meets technology, with world-changing results. Exciting Read, and Not Just for Would-Be Entrepreneurs

As such, I wanted to take advantage of the latest social networking technology available. I looked at a few books on Twitter. I had heard of it, knew of a few people who were already on it, but really had no idea what it was, how it could be used, or how to go about using it.

It is written in an easy to use, conversational style. It is arranged in such a way that you can read the beginning, open your Twitter account, and then continue reading as you begin tweeting and gaining experience.

And, most importantly, things to avoid doing so that you do not become part of the 'noise' that will lead to being unfollowed or worse yet, blocked. <br /> <br />Like most things in life Twitter is what you make of it.

Many of the previous 5 star reviews have highlighted my sentiments and opinions of this book.

But my comments:

David Silver loves the world and passion of entrepreneurs.

His excitement and expertise for SNS is evident throughout the book.

The spreadsheets and financial assumptions in the book alone are critical for

the mobile and broadband Net world, and worth purchasing the book alone.

Products, services, conferences, and subscriptions for SNS are covered in great detail.

I have highlighted and dog-ear’d many pages.

But the passion for niche / vertical entrepreneurial focus is the highlight and successful theme of this book.

Finding 10,000 fans for something is an accomplishment and a community.

Finding 1,000 subscribers or product customers in that community is a business.

David Silver has outlined many of the tablestakes that SNS builders need to concentrate on.
