DISQUS

Steve Ellwood: Social Media reading

    I'd add it's also well worth a look at Library Thing - easy to maintain lists of what you're reading - you can see some of my recent Amazon purchases, though not all the fiction...

    I thought Everything is Miscellaneous was fantastic, if you haven't read it already.

    Also, I really like the iRead app on facebook as way of keeping track books I'm reading and want to read.

    Picked up The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford at the airport last week. Easy going read, and look into the world of economics and how prices are dictated by situations and their interactions.

    Emotional Design (blame psd for that, not great but good bits)
    Everything is Miscellaneous (v good)
    Mavericks at Work (reading)
    Guns, Germs and Steel (classic, answers a lot of why questions)
    Being Human (HCI report from Microsoft)

    But I'm always worried about the amount of real books there are to read, and wasting too much time on work fluff.

    Don Tapscott, author of Wikinomics, and Steve Papermaster of BSG Alliance have formed nGenera, a company whose mission it is to bring the ideas from Wikinomics to the corporate arena. It's name and focus come form Next Generation Enterprises. http://is.gd/aVt Either of them can contribute to your book review on social media and the impact it's having on business.

    I should have made more clear on my last comments that I am working with both of them and can help facilitate. If you'd rather I communicate with you by twitter or email, I'd be happy to do so. Mike

    I'd recommend Howard Rheingold's 'Smart Mobs' - I've posted a short summary here to give an idea of its content - http://www.joiningdots.net/library/Research/Boo...

    And also 'The Social Life of Informatin' by John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid - http://www.joiningdots.net/library/Research/Boo...

    Specifically about Social Networking - 'The Hidden Power of Social Networks' by Rob Cross. And to understand the power in connections - 'Linked: How everything is connected' by Albert-Laszslo Barabasi.
