" A book that could easily have been a chapter. Hunt chose to cover all of social media (as of 3 years ago) from the perspective of the value of reputation, which is not at all wrong, it's just one perspective. Don't take "Whuffie" as the final word. "

" Loved this book! Not a be all end all business book, but an excellent take on the new social plane of the digital landscape and it's importance for business. This book is more an attitude adjustment than a market strategy. With that in mind, I wholeheartedly recommend! "

" Lots of good real-world examples for how to do things right! "
