THURSDAY:Socialnomics

I read about this book online and requested it from the library to just skim through. The writing style was so engaging, though, I read the whole thing cover to cover in an afternoon. It gives an analysis and examples of the impact of social media on news, business, communication, dating and politics. There was also a section about the impact of social media on books and publishing that I found especially interesting. Some of the other interesting examples (for me) included a fantasy football podcast and the Facebook game, Scrabulous.

If you at all interested in social media and it's crazy amount of growth and impact on society over the last few years, check out Socialnomics.
