Synopsis

Corporate executives struggle to harness the power of social technologies. Twitter, Facebook, blogs, YouTube are where customers discuss products and companies, write their own news, and find their own deals but how do you integrate these activities into your broader marketing efforts? It's an unstoppable groundswell that affects every industry -- yet it's still utterly foreign to most companies running things now.

When consumers you've never met are rating your company's products in public forums with which you have no experience or influence, your company is vulnerable. In Groundswell, Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li explain how to turn this threat into an opportunity.

In this updated and expanded edition of Groundswell, featuring an all new introduction and chapters on Twitter and social media integration, you'll learn to:

· Evaluate new social technologies as they emerge

· Determine how different groups of consumers are participating in social technology arenas

· Apply a four-step process for formulating your future strategy

· Build social technologies into your business

Groundswell is required listening for executives seeking to protect and strengthen their company's public image.

Goodreads review by Kierk on May 03, 2010

Goodreads review by Puja on December 16, 2013

This book is a great overview of social media and offers detailed insight into how brands are affected by the new media revolution.

Goodreads review by Richard on July 05, 2008

This book is aimed at company people who may not know much about the Social Web, other than they want to be in on the action. So *I'm* not the target market. I browsed through the book on a lazy sunday and thought it had some great data in it. The authors obviously know their stuff and I have huge r......more
