3.0 out of 5 stars a shot of frothy optimism, September 3, 2010

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I found reading this book like sipping a frothy latte, enjoyable but light and when it's gone, it's gone. I picked up some tips, but I found this book much more oriented towards speculative strategic thinking than practical tactics.

The book's core argument, that we're moving away from "open" web platforms that don't have much privacy or filtering, towards "closed" ones, was a useful insight for me. I don't disagree with his core premise about user behavior. But I roll my eyes when social media marketing is presented as other than labor-intensive and thus costly. The argument that just because you can use Facebook to market your business for free does not make marketing on Facebook free. The author, like many social media writers, kind of ignores the time-intensity of using guerilla tactics in social media.

Some web users barely use a search engine at all, which is the "open" web. They may spend all their time on closed platforms such as virtual reality... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A True "Web 3.0" Book With Dozens of Practical Applications, July 20, 2010

This review is from: Marketing in the Moment: The Practical Guide to Using Web 3.0 Marketing to Reach Your Customers First (Hardcover)
Marketing in the Moment: The Practical Guide to Using Web 3.0 Marketing to Reach Your Customers First I just want to thank the Internet Marketer who's email linked me to Michael Tasner's landing page for this Clockwork-Orange-eye-opening read (yes, like toothpicks in the eye--you just have to keep reading...it's that good. No Beethoven, though).

I turned down more pages than not in this quick, well-laid-out-and-organized book that can honestly and absolutely claim to be a Web 3.0 book. So many others are advertised as such but it's the same ol' technology they're talking about. Not here.

I subscribe to and skim through more than 500 daily RSS feeds and thought I knew everything on it's way down the tech pipeline. Difference is, Tasner is a bit of a visionary, but one who uses sound evidence and personal examples to back... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars For many businesses, Web 3.0 marketing is essential marketing, July 26, 2010

This review is from: Marketing in the Moment: The Practical Guide to Using Web 3.0 Marketing to Reach Your Customers First (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you have even the slightest knowledge of modern communications, then a list of the capability of the latest generations of handheld devices, including the iPhone, iPad and Blackberry will leave you in awe. Unfortunately, if you are a businessperson and you are not leveraging that capability to improve your business, then you should also be experiencing some terror. The rapid advance of what is often (and somewhat inappropriately) referred to as social media has created enormous opportunities for businesses and organizations to dramatically increase the speed and content of their communication with customers.
Web 3.0 is a broad term used to describe a wide spectrum of communication channels that can be considered the latest iteration. Fortunately, it is not necessary to have been an effective user of Web 2.0 in order to begin the process of implementing Web 3.0. This is not to say that it is easy, just possible.
Tasner does an excellent job in making sure the word... Read more
