Why you should read The Facebook Era

In-the-know companies now actively leverage online social networks – MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and their numerous compatriots – to increase sales, improve public relations, gain market research data, reach customers, offer technical support, find new employees and more. Despite the stereotype that social communities are “just for kids,” many online sites exist strictly for business people and professionals, including CEO Network (controlled access for select senior executives) and LinkedIn (a professional referral and networking portal). Online social networking draws countless mainstream consumers. If you want to reach them, getAbstract recommends this book by Clara Shih, who developed the first business application for Facebook. She details online social networking and even explains how you might make some money with it.
