Loved this book.

"Win, lose or draw, armed only with imagination we're gonna rip the fucking lid off", quote I can still remember from this book 15 years later.

Quite a big impact on me when I was first starting out in business/it. ( )

Illustrative of just how fast things change, this tenth-anniversary edition may at first strike you as an anachronistic historical oddity, or at best a mile-marker in the rear view mirror: we've moved beyond pull marketing, through blogs, to the fever pitch of Facebook pages and Twitter. But though the bullet train of social marketing flies fast, the Cluetrain of marketing to the needs and interests of (what we now call) the community rolls much more slowly. There's still time to get on board this train ... and sadly too many empty seats on board, at that! ( )

OK I loved it and still do. But, now we're living it and don't have time to talk or think about it. We just have to make it happen. And, boy is it a tough birthing process. It is all dated and speculative about what we now know to be true. I am excited and optimistic for the change that's coming. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
The Internet and World Wide Web have spawned hundreds of books, boxcars of verbiage. The Net changes everything. Or so the cliche goes. But most of this analysis has been extremely insular, looking at the dynamics of the online world as a class of phenomena until itself. While it's true that global networks are catalysts of change, it's even more critical to see them as responses to a world that was already changing when they arrived on the scene.
