Curation Nation: How to Win in a World Where Consumers are Creators Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Curation Nation could use some curation itself. The book contains a lot of information, but it doesn't really say anything. The first 100 pages summary: there is a lot of crap on the Internet and it needs to be curated... I know that already, that's why I bought your book!It goes on to profile different...

Do...

Windows 7 All-in-One For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I purchased this book even before I received Windows 7. I wanted a "heads up" on what I was geting into. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.

Mac OS X Lion Bible Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)MacOS Lion is significantly different from previous OS X versions. In many ways it's not as intuitive. I still miss "Save As" . An experienced writer and Macintosh expert - Galen takes the complexity out of OS. I found it a great reference for relatively simple issues - such as importing Fonts into Mac...

The Official Joomla Book (Joomla Press) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Advertised as a "comprehensive Joomla! reference for every administrator, developer, designer, and content manager", I expected a lot more from this book.

The Step by Step Guide to Twitter for Business Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I had purchased the author's Parent's Guide to Facebook, then her business book The Step by Step Guide to Facebook for Business and had to get the rest of the set on Twitter, Linkedin and SEO/Video.

Building a Professional Learning Community at Work: A Guide to the First Year Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Before I read this book, I have to admit I wasn't quite sure what a "professional learning community" was. I must confess that, even though I'm a fan of co-author Bill Ferriter's blog, I generally skipped over his posts about this topic.Through his book, I've learned that it's basically about strategically...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I recommend to every Joomla user who is less than "expert level" -- read this book!

Microstyle: The Art of Writing Little Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought Microstyle after reading the NY Times review, and found it to be an interesting but slightly repetitive survey of short marketing messages and funny one-liners.Most of the examples in the book are advertising slogans, mixed in with far too many fake headlines from The Onion and selections from...
