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.

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.

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.

The Internet provides you with a new world to networking. This guide gives you the history of online networking - starting with email, introducing e-newsletters, how to increase your Goggle presence, the 411 on social networks, basics to blogging, closing with internet forums and discussion groups. The plethora of information is presented in a fun and interesting format comparing today with the old world of Jane Austen.

THE SAVVY GAL'S GUIDE TO ONLINE NETWORKING is a must have guide for those not familiar with what the Internet has to offer today. The humor and relevant stories will encourage you to increase your time spent online. There is also information about the Downtown Women's Club - the what, when, how, and where to set up a local club. The easy-to-read nature along with the on-going storyline will keep you entertained while you learn.

I found this book to be so helpful. Many online networking guides offer a text-book style tone and approach. This book was actually a fun read and inspired me to further my online networking skills right away. As a somewhat experienced online networker, I thought this book offered so many new tips and tricks sure to help my business succeed. I highly recommend this guide to both experienced and novice networking professionals.

With the recent release of The Savvy Gal's Guide to Online Networking, Diane Danielson proves once again to be the shining light that guides the way for all us gals navigating the brave new world of online networking to strengthen our professional relationships. As with her previous book, Table Talk, Diane shares with us new ways to maximize the powerful union of knowledge and giving -- this time with the WORLD via the web. Diane and co-author, Lindsey Pollak make the book accessible to both younger and "more mature" readers, making it a great source of networking wisdom for women of all ages!

Once again Diane Danielson has made networking something fun and engaging, rather than something that makes you run screaming from the room. Relationships matter and so does being smart and deliberate in getting what you want - all presented in her usual kicky style. The dynamic duo of real networking walk their talk - Diane has been focusing on networks *well* before anyone got a Ph.D. in Knowledge Management, and Lydsey *owns* networking in NY. A fun read and important for everyone to know about, women AND men.

This book is a fun and quick read with practical tips on how to create an online presence. Those of us on the Boomer/Gen X cusp are especially in need of these Savvy Gals' advice as the online networking opportunities have added a dimension to networking and marketing that did not exist during the first decade of our careers.
