I just finished reading "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. It certainly makes you look at the world differently... And is not recommended for those who prefer to look at the world through rose colored glasses. I'm now reading "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman. Very timely for today's world. Both come on CD, so my long commute home is good for something.
Upon my request, my blog mama Toby Bloomberg recommended the following books for those looking to brush up on their blog marketing skills. Before I add them to my Amazon.com wish list, I'd like some feedback first. What do you think? Worth the time?
I'd also like to know when these authors are going to come out in a podcast version... I need to continue filling that time in the car.
- Jeremy Wright's book, "Blog Marketing" - The guy who auctioned himself off as a blog consultant on eBay.
- Debbie Weil's book, "The Corporate Blogging Book" - Not available until August 3, 2006.
- Robert Scoble and Shel Israel's "Naked Conversations"
- A random entry James Surowiecki's "The Wisdom of Crowds." The concept is a good one and the book was enjoyable, but it did trend to drag on at the end.
Thoughts on these books? Suggestions for other books?
