review 1: Public Parts by Jeff Jarvis is a really easy, yet interesting read. Jarvis uses personal and cultural examples to illustrate the importance of public sharing, and also highlights the challenges in separating public and private life. Jarvis's arguments in regards to businesses being more open in sharing ideas and interacting with their customers is especially strong. While I personally do not agree with publicness online to the extent that Jarvis does, I found that his logic for the most part made a whole lot of sense!Jarvis really does make this an entertaining and easy read. He discusses the history of publicness and highlights the benefits of being public online. He addresses the concept and definition of privacy, and how that relates to the business world. Towards the... more end of his book he discusses the need to protect publicness and in a sense calls for support in this cause.I think one of the strong arguments Jarvis makes is our need to make connections online. He writes, "The people we want to meet are a connection away.” While I have reservations about needing to be completely public online with our personal lives, his argument for the needs companies have to make connections online made sense. The online presence a company has now has a large affect on it's brand, and is something companies need to acknowledge. Whether or not you agree with the argument Jarvis makes, it is good to be aware of it. The digital age truly is changing the way we live our lives, and we need to be aware and informed on the issue of privacy. The digital world has expanded to the point where it can no longer be ignored.
review 2: One of those books I saw an ad for in FastCompany or something, so it is about the tech industry and who, what, where, when, how should we keep stuff private? What are the limitations? How have things changed as technology has changed and what does it mean for us now? Thankfully, I quick read. Too much history for me. I like stuff that takes place in "the now" rather then a history lesson. But the author had to frame everything up. Also, the author threw in way too much personal stuff, but then, isn't that the point of this book? Kind of interesting how that all comes around, but all in all, I have read better tech books. This one hardly touched on it. Not exactly what I was expecting. less

If you are only going to read one book about social media, this should be it.

Boring. Not nearly as good as What would Google Do.
