"You know more and more of your high value customers are joining social networks all the time. Yelp, for instance, is seeing a million new users per month. Facebook and Twitter are seeing even more growth than that. That’s probably why you picked up this book, but how do you get started? How do you get your business noticed? Which networks should you participate in? Those are the questions that the authors answer here. They lead you through the various social networks (which are really just web sites where users can tell their friends about things, including your business) and give you helpful tips to get started." -Robert Scoble, co-author of Naked Conversations: How Businesses Are Using Blogs and managing director of Rackspace’s building43.com.

"Social media—the mashup of community and communication—can feel like walking into New York’s Central Station at rush hour. Jacob Morgan and Josh Peters’ TwittFaced helps readers navigate through the clutter to the depth and potential found through social media. There’s a reason @jacobm is a chess fan: he’s mastered strategy in an often-difficult game of communicating online. This guide follows his philosophy of making simple, relevant decisions to create a meaningful presence in social media. In fourteen years of working in online community and communications, I have spent countless hours defining social media to clients. For some, it’s a big, scary, unknown environment. For others, an over-calculated risk. I have often wished for a guidebook to give clients a solid understanding of how their brand can work in user-generated environments. TwittFaced is that guide!" -Samantha Fein, cofounder and CEO, Threxy
