  1. This book is a good way to become familiar with online social tools. The author explains how to use email, social networking tools and publishing tools.

  2. great book! I loved it! It’s huge and heavy and not particularly expensive. It seemed very well organized and well written. And it was certainly packed to the gills with content. There are 43 chapters divided into three sections: (1) Understanding the Fund and tactics, (2) Tools, (3) the strategy. The chapters of Part One provides an introduction and context in the book. The various chapters of the second half to cover over 100 tools for social media. And the last five or six chapters of the third party can help to control the media, social marketing of your company (or not do).

    The book is complete. I have not seen a book that covers so much and in such detail on the topic of Social Media Marketing (or internet marketing). There were plenty of “expert advice” scattered throughout the text that really made the book shine. And each chapter concludes with three summaries: (1) Commandments (2) Conclusion, and (3) Reading and resources. Each were well done. In particular, readings and resources for each chapter have been better to have more books at the end of a book. 6 stars!

    PS. To see the titles of the chapters of the book and how it is organized, in particular, welcome to peer into the search function in Amazon offers this book. With 43 chapters, there are plenty of titles of the chapters to read.

  3. Ask a hundred people that “the media” is, and you can get a hundred different definitions. Frankly, the media does not merely connect people – is confused too. The authors of “The Social Media Bible”, however, have made an attempt to create an important resource that helps readers have a comprehensive understanding of the media “ecosystem” (to put it in the authors) and of how the phenomenon of the media refers to the companies.

    First, I think in order to discuss regarding this volume. Part I, Foundations of the substance and tactics, including the first 23 chapters. This section of the book defines the media, explains the different types of media, and helps you understand why this is important. You get here cover everything from social networks, microblogging to virtual worlds. If you’ve read other books on the media, you may already be familiar with some of these matters. If you’re new to social media, especially useful.

    Part II, Tools, includes Chapters 24-38 and review the different categories of media, focusing on the current folk instruments. The authors discuss each tool, focuses on who should use and why you will also find technical information in these chapters. Although he appreciates the broad view of all the different types of media, felt that the sections could have gone into more detail. However, you could easily write a book on all types of media submitted, therefore the authors clearly had to limit the coverage of each resource type of social media.

    Part III, the strategy includes the final chapters 39-43 and offers excellent tips on how to apply everything learned in the book. Thank you for the dissemination of fragments of advice cohesion strategies as presented. I found especially the chapter “The four pillars of the strategy of social media” very useful, which illustrates how a strategy of social media should be targeted for communication, collaboration, education and entertainment.

    While some of the principles in this book will last, most descriptions of existing instruments of social media, it quickly out of date (as some have already). However, the authors clearly recognized and is intended to be a timely book. If you are new to the concept of social media and looking at ways of implementing social media for your business, the “social media Bible” is a great resource. If you are familiar with the use of social media, you may find the omission of some of the basic concepts of the book. Overall, I think that is the wisdom that everyone will find this guide helpful – the kind of wisdom that will help breathe new life into the online marketing efforts of your company’s social media in the world.

  5. For those of you who want to know more about social media (Twitter, Facebook, Meebo, Plurk, Digg, Vimeo, Podbean, BlogTalkRadio, Second Life, etc), The Social Media Bible by Lon Safko and David K. brake is the book to buy.

    I bought last week and have eaten from the top down. The information is complete, timely and specific.

    Provides the historical context of social media and how to use media as a strategy in your marketing plan. It describes what each instrument of social media is, how can it be used, what other applications to work with him, you play it, and gives advice on who should use it. I have read almost every book in other media and none is more comprehensive as this.

    Besides being an essential resource for anyone involved in marketing, public relations, and businesses that may well be used as a textbook for college classes in the media social communication.
