Your digital stamp matters 5 seconds from now, 5 years from now, 50 years from now and 500 years from now.This book was funded by a very successful Kickstarter campaign.This is a timely subject and something that everyone should be thinking about.

Qualman is a social media savant; while his bailiwick has typically been in extolling the virtues of social media in a broad sense to create professional value, Vegas approaches social media in a different way, though no less engaging or intelligent. In his latest book, Qualman talks more about how social media will give you a digital shadow - while some shy away from that due to concerns over privacy, Qualman turns this dynamic upside down by positing that fear of embracing and controlling your digital shadow will ultimately make you and your brand obsolete. This is a powerful argument that Qualman makes and he advances his points with careful deliberation and counsel; as a professional and as a parent to young children, I find his counsel invaluable in embracing the need to have a digital stamp and, moreover, controlling it maturely.

Being a little more internet savvy than most, I am always cautious as to what I post online. However, my friends and family, not so swift sometimes. What Happens in Vegas Stays on YouTube is an excellent resource to wake you up to think before you push the send button. Once it is out there, it's there forever. Good advice and a quick and easy read.

Everyone should read this, especially teenagers. We should all know by now to not turn loose wild information or pictures on the Internet because those things *always* come back to haunt us, but this book is a great reminder of how even the little things can trip you up.Particularly when emotions are running high, don't think twice about what you put on social media - think three or even four times.I give thanks on a daily basis the Internet wasn't around when I was younger. It doesn't bear thinking about.

I read this book for class. It was one of the most enjoyable reads I have had for an assigned reading and the content actually pertained to what I feel like I may face in the real world. It was well written and factual. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to learn more about social media or public relations. It doesn't take a long time to read and sections can easily be pulled out individually for use as examples.

This is a well written book with solid concepts in it. I think most of the ideas are not terribly new territory to folks familiar with the digital world, but pick it up, sometimes we find one concept that makes the whole thing worth it.

Read this for a social media class. It's very readable , and filed with interesting anecdotes to accent the tips given within. However, I found it's advice to be fairly common sense based. For an older audience adopting social media for the first time, this book could be essential. But for the campus audience - who already live in the social media domain - it feels very obvious.

Mr Erik Qualman is a leader in the use of social media for business, I strongly recommend searching for his vidio

Interesting book with a lot of insights for those who are new to social media and wish to learn more. Full of good tips for those who wish to learn the dos and dont's of marketing on social. Nevertheless, "Socialnomics" is E. Qualman's finest work!

Não é legal denegrir o trabalho das pessoas, mas nesse livro, o autor foi infeliz.Eu dou ZERO estrelas, porque o conteúdo é ridiculamente óbvio. Qualquer pessoa que usa Internet com frequência sabe dos "perigos" que está correndo.Talvez para internautas novatos seja útil, porém acho difícil novatos procurarem por um livro com este título.Se o público-alvo são novatos, o autor continua sendo infeliz na escolha do título, que poderia ser algo como: Internet for Dummies.Para piorar, ele usa os mesmos exemplos em capítulos diferentes. Pelo visto nem o autor, revisor e editor não leram o livro.Não recomendo!
