Many Web 2.0 innovations were pioneered by behemoths like Google, Amazon, Apple, YouTube, and MySpace. But even the smallest, leanest companies can take advantage of the new trends,

Now you may not know much about what is now called Web 2.0, if not then which planet have YOU been living on, but after reading this book you will know more then even that nerdy 16 year old next door.
Tom Funk jumps from topic to topic with the speed of a run-away broad-band connection yet seems to pull from each topic all that you would need to know to talk knowledgeably with your marketing director at work. He shows you case studies of how each area can and is utilized in real-world situations which is nice seeing as most of this stuff sounds like science fiction to the uninitiated.
Just looking at the Index will tell you that there is something different about this book. Starbucks is right next to Strategy Analytics and MMORPGs is next to Mobile Advertising. Huh? But that’s not as important as knowing that you will learn how all these come together to get you up to speed in this ever changing world of Web 2.0.

great intermediate level instructional guide on how to maximize profits through social media, how to create ‘sticky’ clients, and how to develop new relationships through social networking. A lot of ‘history’ of the web and how it’s evolved… most of that I skipped over, but you may like to read it.

Gotta say, the book is wonderful. Fun, informative and an easy read. As a “seasoned” digital marketer, Tom’s book was a fantastic reminder on topics I had forgotten as well as an abundance of information on ideas I had never thought of.
Clear, concise and timely. Anyone who runs a website or has an online marketing role should buy this book.
Great work, Tom!

I am a nontechnical reader, and I enjoyed this book for its very accessible and clear writing, for explaining what Web 2.0 is about, and for its many practical suggestions for using Web 2.0 in business.

I hate it when a book comes alomg with such bold predictions, but fails to deliver anything new. Such is the case here. I could find every idea and concept simply by reading blogs and following a few thought leaders. This book serves no purpose. I suggest watching TED demos and sticking to those who are bold enough to try and predict the future. Those you try and describe how we got here or how fortune 500 companies need to get with it suck. Waste of paper and time.
Understanding new biz models? Is this a joke? The trends are just that- trends (many out of date) and technologies (again- already out of date).
You have to be first, best or different. Remember what should be remembered, and forget what should be forgotten.Alter what is changeable, and accept what is mutable.
