Sybex, 2008
A Turn By Turn Map To Social Media Effectiveness In Your Business
What I love about this book is the way it is laid out in a step by step process that leads you from confusion to clarity in the use of social media in business today. Be aware, this is not a book about blogging even though they discuss is a lot, it is a book about all social media and the precise steps you can take to begin and continue influential conversations that can change the face of your ...

The Blogging Church28 reviews
Jossey-Bass, 2007
Instructive and good for all experience levels
Well organized and full of information for both the newbie and also a more experienced blogger who wants to deepen their effectiveness (or experiment more). I work with synagogues, and found the approach of blogging for "ministry" can be useful and much more broadly defined than for churches alone. Very easy to read, full of practical examples.

Publish and Prosper: Blogging for Your Business12 reviews
New Riders, 2007
One of the best introductory books on blogging available
DL Byron and Steve Broback have really done an excellent job in writing this very thorough primer on blogging for business. The book, actually, is more than a mere primer: its breadth is surprising. They've managed to cover virtually every aspect of business blogging in a mere 180 pages. Quite an accomplishment and one the authors can certainly take pride in.
The approach is linear, ...

Warning: severe tire damage
Patrick Hughes may be The Funniest Man on Earth.
It didn't matter that I had been a voracious reader of his blog--the retelling of the stories (and more) in this book are to funny what quantum physics is to physics. Do not, under any circumstances, try to eat or drink while reading this book. You'll have your own disgusting experience to feel profound shame over. In fact, I suggest you fast ...

Cute, funny, and A silky smooth ride.

So a thirty-something young professional finds herself alone, dumped, and devastated in Los Angelos. She goes crazy. After a while she learns to knit. She makes knitting into a hobby. And that's it.

Catherine Seda
New Riders Press, 2007
Great .. Just Great
Just when I was ready to wipe the dust off of my Internet Marketing Books to "brush up" from just a year ago, out comes this book.
After reading this book, I realize now that my "other" books seem antiquated. I have no need for them now as "Win Spiders" has introduced me to the next generation of Web Buzz and Marketing.
Catherine Seda really has her finger on the pulse as this book opens ...

Navigating the Financial Blogosphere: How to Benefit from Free Information on the Internet4 reviews
Wiley, 2007
A personal finance blog disguised as a book, but well worth the read!
This was a nice little book written by a young professional who works as a wealth manager. It's a personal finance or young person's financial planning book. I liked the way the book presented the material in clear and digestible snippets. I read a book not too long ago that was similar in format. See Blogging and Podcasting (ISBN: 1419584359). In both books the authors promote themselves through ...

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY
THE STORY OF AMY AND PHIL'S JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD IN THE BOAT THEY BUILT IN GEORGETOWN, MAINE IS MORE THAN SIMPLY AMAZING. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN, READING STRAIGHT THROUGH FOR TWO AND HALF DAYS. THE SHEER AMOUNT OF COURAGE AND SKILL AND HUMOR NEEDED TO TRAVEL TOGETHER FOR THREE YEARS, TO BE VULNERABLE IN THE OPEN OCEAN AND THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES VISITED TAKES A KIND OF AUTHENTICITY AND ...

Todd Stauffer
Topeka Bindery, 2002
A miracle: an excellent primer and reference on blogging
This is a truly remarkable book. It is both a detailed primer for weblog novice and serves well as a reference for the experienced blogger or one desiring to attain that level. Stauffer's organization of his material is unusually well structured. He begins at the very beginning: what is a blog, why you might want one and so one. Then there's a walk-through of four different blogging platforms, ...

Blog Schmog: The Truth About What Blogs Can (and Can't) Do for Your Business6 reviews
Thomas Nelson, 2007
A good book that seems to accurately put blogs into perspective for people interested in including them in their marketing mix.
I enjoyed reading this book. It confirmed what I already knew about blogs and blogging. I highly recommend anyone interested in exploiting blogs for financial gain get a copy of this book and read it.
The overall message of the book is that blogs help increase a marketing-focused Web site get favorably ranked with search engines. Therefore, indirectly they help in marketing. But blogs are not ...

National Lampoon, 2008
Warning!
If you're highly concerned with appearances, you may think twice about reading this book in public. Not one to "giggle" normally, I found myself (along with the people surrounding me on the plane) having difficulty holding back the giggles. I received a lot of raised eyebrows and cold stares! People on planes are really much too serious. Anyway, besides the giggles, I found myself being ...

Entertaining, Fun, Honest
I LOVED this book. I have read it several times since Hubby purchased an autographed copy directly from Mindy for Christmas 2006. She is honest and funny... has been through all the things we have been and isn't afraid to share her fears, frustrations or spontaneous combustion! Hubby sits beside my bubble bath some nights and is frequently found looking at me oddly, wondering what the heck is ...

Birding Babylon: A Soldier's Journal from Iraq7 reviews
Jonathan Trouern-Trend
Sierra Club Books, 2006
Birding Babylon-Simple Beauty in Wartime
This is a small, beautiful book. The natural phenonomena and bird-life that Jonathan Trouern-Trend desribes with such simple elegance in Birding Babylon is both comforting and poignent as it all takes place in Iraq near the beginning of our most recent conflict there.
I salute Mr. Trouern-Trend, both as a fellow "birder" as well as a poet. His writing is spare and unembelished, yet the ...
