    Socialnomics is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the implications of social media, and how businesses can tap the power of social media to increase their sales, cut their marketing costs, and reach consumers directly.

    Very helpful book giving insight into how to use social media to establish and grow relationships with customers. Not only does it it provide insight into how the younger generation uses it as a tool, it also provides insights into how to develop your own strategy. Great book!

    It seems that some people are born to achieve anything they want. Some would say they are lucky, are blessed, or have the Midas touch. But what truly is the reason for their success? New York Times best selling author John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

    In an audiobook that challenges everything you thought you knew, W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne assert that tomorrow's leading companies will succeed, not by battling their rivals for market share in the bloody "red ocean" of a shrinking profit pool, but by creating "blue oceans" of untapped new market spaces ripe for growth.

    Great concept and great examples. My thought is that the Blue Ocean Strategy is like the hedgehog concept from Jim Collin's book Good to Great - but gives a great tool (strategy map) to help determine exactly how to establish your strategy. Overall, good book and I would recommend for other looking for a way to differentiate their services from their competition's.

    If your company has lost the focus it once had, here are clear solutions for moving your organization back to its key service and discarding everything else. Ries, coauthor of The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, gives clear examples from a variety of industries and demonstrates how crucial focus can be.

    Story

    Interesting that he predicted exactly what some companies needed to do (IBM). Will also be interesting to see how his take on cable/telephone plays out.

    One great takeway for me - always be in front of the market for your products. Paraphrased in my words... if anyone is going to put your product out of business, let it be a new version that you develop.
