Although it deals almost exclusively in detail with blogs and podcasts, and not too much with social networks and online communities, "The New Influencers" is a "must read" for anyone interested in next generation interactive online media.

I loved this book. Over the past year or so I have read quite a number of tomes regarding social media and social media marketing, but none until this one have been written in a planner or workbook format. This one is well written, well organized, and full of content. It has 14 chapters split into the following four parts or sections: I. The Foundation of Social Media II.

I'm a mixed-media artist and have been wanting to do some self-portraits for a long while but didn't know where or how to start. The title says exactly what the book is about: inspiration and techniques. Just thumbing through the pages makes you want to ...             Media and Culture 6e with 2009 Update & i>clicker2 reviews Richard Campbell, Thomas R. Martin, ...

Lapham The MIT Press, 1994 A WORLD WITHOUT WALLS With all the ink spilt over UNDERSTANDING MEDIA it is easy to forget that it is just a book full of printed words, one of the media McLuhan discussed. Wait one second, if the message, in itself, doesn't really matter, if the media is the message, what differentiated this book from any other? It was his literary style, his dichotomies, his analogies and his metaphors. The fact is that ...             Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda (Open Media)51 reviews Noam Chomsky Open Media, 2003 Chomsky is brilliant, but ... Brilliant, very insightful. I have only one problem with Noam Chomsky's position - his absolution of general population from responibilities of their goverment. Yes, America is a big bully and there is a lot of propaganda, but isn't it what the majority wants to hear? Doesn't it feel good when we can beat up on countries like Yugoslavia to make us feel good about our might? The problem with Irag ...             Advertising Media Planning, Sixth Edition10 reviews Jack Z. Sissors, Roger Baron McGraw-Hill, 2002 A great primer and information resource!

He demonstrates that he has an extraordinarily detailed command of ...             The New Media Reader3 reviews The MIT Press, 2003 Well done! Fascinating, thorough in its analysis, beautifully designed reader/player. Good, well-rounded selection of texts and new media objects with no attempt to be exhaustive (to the editors' credit). I plan to use it as one of the texts in an upcoming university course.             Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide12 reviews Henry Jenkins NYU Press, 2008 Focused on Media, Art, Culture, Less So on Social Networks I come late to this book, published in 2006. I do not regret it. It is a bit too focused on media, art, and "culture" for me, but I cannot penalize the author for being a master of arcane tid-bits. This book is a collection of previously published articles reworked into a book--for me, that is a good thing, as I do not cover the sources that originally carried the pieces. The book comes ...             The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasting, Viral Marketing and Online ...107 reviews David Meerman Scott Wiley, 2008 Fantastic must read for ALL business owners!

Lev Manovich writes with clarity, wit and provocative insight - a rare and enjoyable experience for anyone doing serious research in this area.
