Hey Czar, I really like your exercise idea. I even think it would be a good one to replace the connection exercise we did last week. As the world moves toward more and more social media based marketing, learning how to leverage that platform will become increasingly more important. I have to say that on the whole, the book you read doesn't really sound that exciting, but I still think you did a good job with the summary.
ReplyDeleteThe book I read strongly connects to your book because it talked about how social media uses the collective democracy theory unintentionally by choosing what everyone sees in social media. People interact with the news, instead of just being a passive TV watcher, and that is why social media has become so powerful in todays lives. I should read this book to capture the key aspects and incorporate them to my social media.
