Product Description:
Corporate executives are struggling with a new trend: people using online social technologies (blogs, social networking sites, YouTube, podcasts) to discuss products and companies, write their own news, and find their own deals. This groundswell is global, it s unstoppable, it affects every industry and it s utterly foreign to the powerful companies running things now.
When consumers you ve never met are rating your company s products in public forums with which you have no experience or influence, your company is vulnerable. In Groundswell, Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff of Forrester, Inc. explain how to turn this threat into an opportunity.
Using tools and data straight from Forrester, you ll learn how to:
-Evaluate new social technologies as they emerge
-Determine how different groups of consumers are participating in social technology arenas
-Apply a four-step process for formulating your future strategy
-Build social technologies into your business including monitoring your brand value, talking with the groundswell through marketing and PR campaigns, and energizing your best customers to recruit their peers
Timely and insightful, this book is required reading for executives seeking to protect and strengthen their company s public image.
"Groundswell is jammed with big ideas, useful stories, and quotable stats. This is the new industrial revolution. Are you on board?"
-Seth Godin, author, Meatball Sundae
"This book will rock your world, if social technology hasn't rocked it already. It's a tsunami of unstoppable force. Amazon, Procter & Gamble, Facebook, Google, and Dell are profiting from the crest of the wave. Are you? Li and Bernoff are the apostles of the tsunami. This book will be your bible."
-Scott Cook, Founder and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Intuit
Groundswell provides practical advice on how to stay nimble and flexible in an ever-morphing digital world. Enabling your company to respond to change quickly especially when talking to and supporting your consumers is essential for business success.
-Cathie Black, President, Hearst Magazines
"The first phase of the Internet was about getting everyone connected. In this next phase, which changes the way we work, live, play, and learn, we re starting to realize the value of those connections as well as the new communications and experiences those interactions lead to the human network. Groundswell effectively documents this shift and underscores the opportunities available to all from this major market transition."
-John T. Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco
"Heed the Groundswell! It's critical reading and helped us master the new dynamics of social media."
-Christina Norman, President, MTV
"Groundswell is a comprehensive look at the tidal wave of change engulfing marketers. Nobody should attempt to engage the newly empowered and emboldened consumer without first hearing what Li and Bernoff have to say on the subject."
-Clark Kokich, CEO, Avenue A | Razorfish
"Social technologies and the groundswell impact every business and organization worldwide. Li and Bernoff have written an insightful book that takes a refreshing research-driven approach to helping businesses transform themselves and successfully navigate this new dynamic landscape."
-Steve Rubel, Senior Vice President, Edelman Digital, and columnist for Advertising Age
Rating:
- Interesting, relevant, and specific
I purchased this book because I'd heard some buzz about it, and was interested in the topic.
I hoped to take from it some ideas on how to more creatively position the company I work for using some Web 2.0 strategies.
What I liked most about the book :
* It was well written and researched.
* The concepts and theories in it do transcend the specific technologies discussed so it will remain relevant.
* The book gives a lot of concrete examples and case ... Read More

- Slice of perfection
Recently, I've read a number of books on social media and this is by far the best. The people at Forrester have always done a great job at analyzing topics and using a bit of alchemy to make their findings accessible to a wide range of readers - this is no exception.
While other books tend to be geared towards marketing professionals that are scrambling to figure out how to harness the online social shake up - usually by abstractly discussing the revolution - Groundswell combines analysis ... Read More
Rating: - Great look at Social Media
This was an eye-opening experience for me. It took me off the sidelines and into the world of social media. It was not only informative but it had real world examples to help me see how to apply it. This got me into an understanding of what Web 2.0 was all about. There is so much out there for everyone now.
Rating: - Great book, veruy applicable
I'm only part way through the book, but it reads really well, is easy to understand, and makes you think a little bit. I was going to get the audio version, but I read another review that suggested against it, since there are many charts that would probably not come across well in audio format - so far, I concur with that. Get the hardcopy version.
Rating: - Great resource. Cannot put this book down. Breaks down the signficance of social media in business.
I couldn't put this book down. They break down the significance of social media in today's business world, as well as how to implement a realistic and productive strategy for using it to an advantage. Great read, and a great resource for people who want to keep up with the current state of the ever-changing world of business online.
I just hope it doesn't become outdated too soon...
