That book I mentioned...

...In class this past week, the one that was written by a wiki and had a lot of mentions for software and various products, and a lot of explanation-per-paragraph...  It was Content Nation by John Blossom.  I'm not sure if you are really the author if your book was "evolved and developed online at ContentNation.com -- literally created by the social media it examines."

Maybe I shouldn't have panned the book out of hand.  It covers some of the same turf as Here Comes Everybody, with more breadth, but less depth, including more examples of how social media is used, but spending only a page or two on many of those examples.

It also shows us, (page 320) how social media will help mankind survive a devastating comet fragment impact on Earth, resulting in the deaths of billions of people.

The author is from Westport.
