This is an incredibly invaluable tool! We started a blog for our non-profit last year, which increased our traffic at the time, and did some SEO based on info we found on the internet, but The Social Media Bible really helped us hone in on our plan for the use of all our internet-based resources so that they aren’t just a bunch of individual, random efforts but are part of a well-orchestrated execution to get our charitable message out in front of the right people and help parents of children with special needs to access the services that everyone’s tax dollars have already been committed to providing but which were being (often unlawfully) denied.

Lon and David have done a great job of compiling a lot of up-to-date how-to wisdom and market insight for people who want to take in the social media landscape. It’s kind of like going to an “unconference” and being able to pigeonhole the people most worth talking to on an on-demand basis. Useful, multi-faceted and applicable to a wide range of needs. Eat a little, or the whole thing, but you’ll find lots of good bite-sized bits of insight.

For those of you that would like to know more about Social Media (Twitter, Facebook, Meebo, Plurk, Digg, Vimeo, PodBean, BlogTalkRadio, Second Life, etc.), The Social Media Bible by Lon Safko and David K. Brake is the book to buy.
I purchased it last week and have devoured it from cover to cover. The information is comprehensive, timely, and practical.
It provides the historical background of social media as well as how to use social media as a strategy in your marketing plan. It describes what each social media tool is, how it can be used, what other applications work with it, who uses it, and even gives suggestions on who SHOULD use it. I’ve read just about every other book on social media and none of them are as complete as this one.
As well as being an essential resource for everyone involved in marketing, PR, and business, this could well be used as a textbook for college classes in social media.
To keep the information timely, the authors have included a link and log-in information for purchasers to access up-to-date information.
