Dynamic reputation scoring is becoming palpable.

The ideas in this book are essential to know and investigate for anybody wanting to have a prosperous living in current digitally driven world. Most chapters can be developed into titles of books in near future as demand for a reputation score increases overall and need for books like this become ever more evident.

Wake Up and Smell the Data Mining

This is a great update to the authors' previous book on the same subject - Wild West 2.0.
This should be required reading for anyone who ever does any digital transaction ever. From online banking to credit card use, Netflix, email and social media, people and companies have the ability to have a data profile about you that is mind boggling.

Great For Absolute Beginners ...

Any additional comments?

This is an excellent read if you are completely uninitiated and need an absolute beginners guide to digital reputation management. Examples like: "If you're an animal lover you probably shouldn't talk about how good the veal was at your favorite restaurant last night" Made it very difficult for me to finish this book.

One view of our future.

If you want a better understanding of how the Internet and big data affect our reputations, this book is a great start.
If you're looking for detailed steps on how to manage your digital reputation then this is not the book to read . Rather it providesprovides generalities and examples of what the online world offer today and the author makes some predictions of what may come tomorrow. Overall it was an entertaining book with some nuggets of knowledge.
