The Social Media Bible is an amazing resource and good introduction to myriad social networking tools. Although the extensive interviews which are included throughout the book could have used much better editing to make them more readable, the descriptions of the social networking tools themselves are well organized and very helpful. The writers' efforts to place the information into a marketing context makes the book very useful to anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of Web 2.0 tools and how to effectively use them.

'The Social Media Bible' laat u zien hoe u uw business transformeert naar een onderneming waarin klanten, werknemers en prospects contact hebben, samenwerken en uw producten of diensten aanprijzen, evenals de manier waarop u zaken doet. Met de systematische aanpak uit dit boek leert u om Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, blogs en podcasts deel te maken van uw strategie. De auteurs laten zien hoe u een interne analyse maakt van het gebruik van sociale media. Hiermee kunt u interne processen verbeteren en de relaties met klanten en prospects waardevol maken.

Als u wilt groeien, zult u verbonden moeten blijven met uw stakeholders. Lon Safko en David K. Brake tonen hoe u collectieve wijsheid en virale waarde inzet voor uw stakeholders en vooruit blijft op uw concurrenten.
