Lee,

Thanks for including Social Media is a Cocktail Party.

My favorite on this list is Groundswell. I’ve read 5 or 6 of these, and Groundswell is really well done.

I appreciate the compendium. But isn’t there one book that states it all? If I had to choose one book, which one should it be? Thanks.

“One could reach a college-level education (or better)” – and if you read 10 poker books you’re automatically a poker pro?

Still a great list though!

Thanks for sharing.

I don’t know if a lot of people know about this one because it is kind of new and does not overtly focus on marketing. But I am reading Designing For the Social Web by Joshua Porter right now, and find that there are a lot of great insights that would be beneficial to marketers.

I would add “The World is Flat” by Thomas Friedman. While not specifically a marketing book, it gives a good overview of what is happening to the world that marketers need to be aware of.

Barry, prioritizing really depends on your goals and starting point. You can’t go wrong starting with Cluetrain and then Groundswell.

Hi Mike, Tribes is on the list between “Personality Not Included” and “Here Comes Everybody”.

Hi,

What do you think about Seth Godin’s ‘Tribes’, I think that could be an addition to your list.

Wow! What a great list! Now I know what I want from Santa…..

I’d also recommend Red Hot Internet Publicity by Penny C. Sansevieri. This is the book you’ll want to have if you’ve just written a book and want to get it into the hands of eager readers. Learn to use virtual author tours, blogging and other online tools to publicize your book.

This is an excellent list of Social Media Marketing books.
One could reach a college-level education (or better) with
just a handful of these in their arsenal.

Great article, too. I keep coming back to this blog b/c
the information keeps me fresh and at the top of my game.

Thanks again for another excellent post.

Be well,
Jason Mangrum, Founder

Lee

This is quite a list. A little over whelming. How should a newcomer prioritize this information?

Thanks
