I’ve had Trust Agents for a while and have just now had a break from other books to get it read. And boy, am I glad I did.
What I enjoyed about this book, compared to other books about social media, is that the authors didn’t talk about specific platforms, i.e. Facebook, Twitter…since specific platforms may come and go over time. They created a timeless book by focusing on how organizations can get the most out of social networking by building Trust Agents, or networks of influence. This strategy is at the heart of leveraging social media for business.
The New Edition, which is what I read, features specific first steps for businesses and organizations entering the world of social media. Really good nuggets
