Much of the same Material from Other Books
This text is a bit preachy and I don't care for the style. It retells the Dell Hell story and another about Sony's bad boy attempt to use social media undercover to drive up PSP Christmas sales, but generally doesn't say anything that hasn't already been covered in this genre -- What Would Google Do, Here Comes Everybody, etc. Yes, we know the dialectic Internet is changing business, but there's nothing particularly insightful about this text. Be Honest, it says. So did Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt and How to Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten Alive -- were those two decades ago?
But this is different -- be honest, or else, it will bite you. The Internet is forever and anything on a website at anytime can be rediscovered via a simple Google search.
Is there really anyone reading this who doesn't already know this?
This book is more an issue of wishful thinking. The authors HOPE businesses will be more honest in the future, but ... I found all evidence to the contrary.
This book is well read, the production is clean and the ideas flowed smoothly into my mind.
