2.0 out of 5 stars Catalogue of social networks: don't expect more., April 6, 2008

By	Stefan Schippers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is just a listing of over 1000 socialo networks, and not, as the title perhaps suggest, a way of how to use these networks or any other tips or description of how they change your life.

useful if you have a stategy of entering a certain unknown world.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yellow pages for social media, April 11, 2008

By	Michael Klazema (Ridgefield, CT, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very broad and big guide to nearly all social media sites but like any yellow pages it really lacks any depths as to what the sites are really about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, May 19, 2009

By	J. King "Scott" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was hoping for some "deeper" stuff than just a book of lists of social networks. It was like- slap a chapter of text in with a list of networks and off to the publisher.
