Book Review

Very few case studies

Detailed activities on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

No example on Non Profit

Links fundamentals of B2B to social media

Book is good for people who never used social media

Google+ or YouTube should be covered

Generate Value. All else, will follow. (Push vs. Pull)

Fundamentals haven’t changed.

Interact outside of the transactional window.
