Don't even think of blogs, communities or social networks as part of your marketing strategy until you read this book. Why? It explains clearly -- yet oh so thoroughly -- why people want to connect and contribute(or not)to communities and groups. It also puts ...             The Official Filthy Rich Handbook7 reviews Christopher Tennant Workman Publishing Company, 2008 Witty dissection of a subculture If, like me, you find the immoderately rich kinda fascinating in their loathsomeness--think Goldie Hawn in the guilty-pleasure movie, Overboard--this book will totally feed that fascination. It's also quite impressive as a tour de force of McSweeney's-esque chartiness. It reminds me of the time I visited a college friend in Ohio and quickly realized she'd failed to warn me she was filthy rich. ...             Hold Tight105 reviews Harlan Coben Dutton Adult, 2008 Hold Tight A must read for any parent.

Having said that, this book is excellent for beginners or advanced code writers who wants to learn Dreamweaver. I just don't have a lot of time to waste. The tutorials march you through it. This book is recommended if ...             Bringing Home the Birkin: My Life in Hot Pursuit of the World's Most Coveted Handbag22 reviews Michael Tonello William Morrow, 2008 REALLY Good Book! It helps if you are an Ebay designer purse fanatic, like myself. Although my brand of obsession has never been Hermes, until now! Mr. Tonello's book is an hilariously accurate portrait of the crazy world of crazy handbag collectors (and the even crazier design houses that produce these bags to "sell" and then make people WAIT to buy them!) Bravo for exposing Hermes' fake waiting lists and ...             Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition426 reviews Steve Krug New Riders Press, 2005 Great tips, and funny to boot! This book gives you tips about how to set up your website so it will be more user-friendly ... and is a funny read as well!

From articles, blog posts, eBooks, white papers, news releases and throw in a ton of video and audio. I consider this book the most comprehensive and insightful of the lot. The book is very "production-oriented." What I mean by that is that every facet of marketing and PR that David Scott discusses is presented from the ...             Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything84 reviews Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams Portfolio Hardcover, 2008 Wow, What an eye opener! Wikinomics is a terrific book to open our eyes to what is happening in the workplace. As a middle school guidance counselor, I can see that we need to be teaching the student more about technology and how the work place is using it for collaboration. Thanks.             The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich708 reviews Timothy Ferriss Crown, 2007 Don't rush the exercises, enjoy in small doses This is an excellent book which includes many, many details and suggested exercises. My suggestion is to read the book all the way through once, then start working on the exercises, slowly, otherwise it can be a bit too much to really get a handle on. Awesome, so worth the money spent to purchase it.             How to Use the Amazon Kindle for Email & Over 100 Pages of Other Cool Tips (The Complete User's Guide to the ...83 reviews Harvard Perspectives Press (kindleusers.blogspot.com), 2007 Windwalker sells me on Kindle My Kindle was a gift and I was skeptical.

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Head First is good for your brain. I love this book. It is my first Head First book and I intend to buy more. It is really a fun way to learn. Though the book deals with some advanced topics, the way the material is presented makes it easier to get into your brain. My suggestion is to pick up one of these books in a book store, skim through it to get the idea of where they're coming from, then buy the book from Amazon.
