Some Offline Reading About Online Things…
Here are a few books about social media that are on my reading list. What books have you read about social media that you think are worth a look?
The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business
I am reading this right now and I can’t stop talking about this book. I think Tara Hunt has done an excellent job of explaining how social media can be used to build social capital. I am especially fond of this book because I think it is written in a style and tone that anyone can understand, you don’t need to have a twitter account to know what she is talking about.
Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust
I first met Chris at Podcamp Pittsburgh a few years ago and I enjoy reading his blog (ChrisBrogan.com) on a daily basis. I am looking forward to reading more of his thoughts on the subject of using online tools to build trust – I think this might be a great follow up read to The Whuffie Factor.
Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion
Chris Brogan has posted a video review of this book here. Tara Hunt discusses Gary Vaynerchuk and his social media successes in The Whuffie Factor and I am eager to read more.
