5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book on networking based on fostering thoughtful connections October 1, 2007

By Kare Anderson VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

As a once "phobically shy" stutterer I recommend this book for anyone who treasures genuine, enduring relationships. Clearly these co-authors live their message - finding fresh ways to generate value - with and for others. Ways that enable relationships, career and a personal life flourish. This no-fluff book is conversational yet full of news-you-can use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners, excellent for experts November 25, 2007

By C. J. Alba

Format:Paperback

Diane and Lindsey wrote a great book to help beginners and experts alike. This book is written in a style that helps beginners really understand what they should be doing with e-mail, newsletters (their own or the ones they sign up for), blogs and blog networking (usually overlooked and hardly touted as one of the best benefit of blogging), forums, social network sites (profiles, interactions, etc.) and much more.

I've been doing this stuff for a long time and there was a checklist of things that I came away with, stuff that I had been neglecting. I recommend this book to anyone interested in marketing their company or their personal brand through the Internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast and easy read January 13, 2009

By Leslie Truex VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

What's great about this little book is that it doesn't get bogged down in information that might be interesting, but not necessary to know if you're ready to jump online and network. It outlines all the basics of online networking including dos and don'ts as well as suggestions to make it work for you. The Savvy Tips are particularly good.
