Social Media Marketing GPS – A new ebook by Toby Bloomberg on social media marketing, involving interviews with leading figures in the field. What’s unique about this book is that all of the interviews were carried out on Twitter. I’ve not had much of a chance to flick through it yet, so I’m going to hold off judgment for the moment. It’s certainly an interesting and creative concept, but since Twitter postings can tend towards the gnomic, I’m curious as to how well it well hold together over the course of the book, or whether the enforced brevity will become wearing after a while. In any case, it’s certainly an interesting concept, and it’s worth having a look for that reason alone.
