Let's Review
For the last four weeks I have been reading “The Art of Social Media” by Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick. You can see my favorite
passages from my required reading throughout my blog under the title The Blue Highlighter. I finished the
whole book last week so it is time for an overall review and an insight to my
favorite aspects of the reading.
This book is easy to read. It flows very nicely and the
chapters are a nice length, they provide information but are not too long or overwhelming.
I also enjoy the way they move from one subject to the next. There are many
aspects of social media and breaking it up step by step helps the reader to
focus and understand the points the authors are making.
One of the only things I did not enjoy about the book is how
extensively it promotes using Google+. Although it is a valid form of social
media and it has interesting features I would have rather focused on another
platform more.
Overall this book has useful tips on how to improve and
effectively use social media. It provides interesting tips and advice that will
help the reader get more out of the platforms they are using. I would recommend
this book to anyone interested in social media and how to use it in a more
professional way.
The book was an easy read and an easy carry from class to class. I learned some new tools and tips to use. I am not a fan of Google plus either.
