All in all a decent read. Provides good perspective of the author's concept of a linked economy. Also good perspective on how influential Google is. But the hypothetical case studies the author sets up can be contrived and overly simplistic. At times seeming to ignore many other possibilities just to make his point. If you read those without the force the author intends then you can probably glean a great deal from the work.

This book is best when the author steps into the background and his ideas and illustrations are in focus. Well written in conversational style, it is like a blog that has been put together in book form for those still into print book culture. It is said that blogs are best for 'getting down your first idea' so that they might be worked through before publication in a more formal way - this book is 'blogg-y' in this way - some of the chapters could have offered more substance beyond opinion. With much of the emphasis on commercial markets, I was happy to see a chapter on higher education (Public Institutions) yet was somewhat disappointed in the content, especially given that the author also has a foot in academia. An easy read that offers readers who don't routinely read marketing literature, some food for thought, and perhaps to start thinking more critically about the increasingly prevalent use of online social media for organizing and managing relationships in an open way. In the end the job of creatively applying the author's key ideas are left to the reader, which is not a bad thing. Some of the more useful take-away's from the book include,
"Don't think you can create a community... Communities are already doing what they do. If you're lucky, they'll let you help them" (p. 52)
"Scientists start with a problem and then try to find a solution... Beware the cool idea." (p.113)
"Make something useful. Help people use it. And then... Get out of the way." (p.118)
"...the public always had made its own judgements; Rose [creator of Digg] just recognized that and enabled them to do it together" (p.132)
"They [Google people] identify a need, find an opportunity, and then systematically, logically, and aggressively attack it with innovation." (p. 164)
