Why you should read The Social Factor
Four signs that you are seriously behind the Internet-driven times: 1) You type “www” in front of Web addresses, 2) You think “geek” is a term of derision, 3) You subscribe to TV Guide and 4) You have a landline. If these descriptions fit you, then you will find Maria Azua’s book eye-opening. She describes online developments such as wikis, cloud computing, crowdsourcing, widgets, social bookmarking, folksonomies, avatars and all the rest – and explains what they can do for your business. However, if you are already an experienced social networker, Azua’s guide will be a review of familiar information. getAbstract recommends this book to businesspeople who are feeling mystified by the Internet – that is, anyone who needs to update his or her Web skills. Online, it’s a new world. Azua’s book provides a good map.
