Members Reviews:

No need to rush to buy this book

I have not read any of Rubleski's other books, so this may be an exception, but I found the book to be very vanilla. There is not a lot of substance. I would recommend many other books before this one. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Think and Grow Rich, The Traveler's Gift, The Secret...just to name a few. This book is no where near the caliber of these books.

Everyone wants MIND CAPTURE...

Tony gives many compelling ways to awaken your Entrepreneurial Genius and have MIND CAPTURE! Get this book and learn about a new set of 10 commandments. Highly recommended reading!

Five Stars

I enjoy his writings

Excellent read! Thought provoking book!

Tony has packed a lot of information into a small, very readable book. It got me off the couch, and back into the business arena.

Bravo!! Just what we all need right now!

Tony,

I just finished reading your book cover to cover. Bravo! Exactly the message needed for this uncertain, negative, fearful time. You have clearly, eloquently, and succinctly tapped into the amazing ability, creativity, and power we all inherently have inside of us to not only survive the "fear" culture, but thrive in it as successful and contributing individuals and business owners/professionals. Everybody in marketing, sales, advertising, "the media", senior management, and entrepreneurship of any sort should read your book and apply your lessons and systems to their work, their life, and their personal and professional passions. Thanks for a positive mental/emotional kick in the pants!

Yours truly,

Title: Wild West 2.0

Subtitle: How to Protect and Restore Your Online Reputation on the Untamed Social Frontier

Author: Michael Fertik, David Thompson

Narrator: Peter Ganim

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-10-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

The Internet is like the Old West - a frontier rich with opportunity and hope, but also a rough-and-tumble land of questionable characters, dubious legal jurisdictions, and hidden dangers. And just like the Old West, if you want to stake out your territory, you have to get there first and fend for yourself.

On the web, that means defending your good name and reputation before the attacks start. Because, despite the excellent product or service you provide, all it takes is one unhappy customer, jealous acquaintance, or unsavory competitor to start the rumors flying. Before you know it, search engines are regenerating that negative publicity every time someone researches you or your business.

In the age of Wild West 2.0, everyone has an online reputation. Who do you want to create yours?

Critic Reviews:

"Full of invaluable information that readers will be very grateful to have when they need it, this book explains the rules and provides the tools for overcoming online attacks and regaining a positive reputation." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Definitely for Internet Noobs

If you don't know what a noob is (or the Internet for that matter) then this is the book for you (the author will even define noob for you). If you've used the Internet before then this book will drive you crazy as the author repeats the same scary stories over and over. It's 80% sensationalism and 20% information. I wish the author would have just focused on teaching me something instead of trying to scare me about how easy my reputation can be tarnished on the Internet. Maybe the last 25% of the book redeems it's value, but I just couldn't make it through the whole book. It's one of the few audiobooks I chose not to finish.

At iStock, for instance, contributors create the product and deliver it in market-ready format. With little inventory expense or traditional overhead, the company can price the product far below old-model competitors.

Ended up checking book out from library.

Just and excerpt not a kindle book.

Packs More Power Per Page Than Any Book I Ever Read...

I'm a long time automotive entrepreneur, now making my business online communities and specialized professional networks, and an old time Wharton School alumni, so when this book was announced I naturally had to buy and read it.

Wow! Though very simple to read and absorb in a very short amount of time, with some helpful and entertaining call outs and pictures, there is not one book I've read (on this topic or any other) that had more of an impact on getting a point across - that the power of crowds and mass collaboration, harnessed through the Internet, is truly changing business, and the world as we know it.

To me this is the best kind of book, short, entertaining yet so powerful you will want to reread it, and cite its facts, phrases and examples throughout your day. There is no way someone can read a book like this, knowing the background of its "authors" and the fact that it, itself was a product of mass collaboration, and not be influenced by its observations and conclusions. "We are smarter than Me" stimulates you to think and act, which is the best take away from any book in my opinion (right after I read it, I "crowd sourced" a particular tricky service in another city for my company, at a fraction of the cost it would have taken me using conventional methods...if I could have gotten the task done at all conventionally).

At the price, this little book is the best ROI on Amazon today.

Fabulous read and clearly a visionary prelude to the authors ...

Fabulous read and clearly a visionary prelude to the authors most recent book "The Network Imperative". Crowdsourcing IS the basis for much of this digital transformation and network creation.

Old short content. Nothing new. This coukd be an old book.

Old information. This book is probably aged. It is too short and of low value.

I was disapointed with it.

"We" is less informative

The experiment of writing the book was more interesting than the book itself. Here, dozens (hundreds?) of writers collaborated in the writing of the book.

The book was very short and even shorter whether the often irrelevant pictures are ignored. I was surprised at the repetition of stories and summaries in the book.

The collaborative writing means that the style is very bland and has no consistent voice.

The book outlines what kind of names exist--the initialized, descriptive, allusive, and coined. How namers surf on brainwaves. The do's, don'ts, and nevers of naming, how the structure of names is built from the ground up and how their sounds are engineered. Why names symbolize benefits.

The Making of A Name is the one book anyone interested in 'owned words' must have.

Repetition is the mother of a bad audio book

I am learning - but only a little

Constant repetition coupled with overstating points, coupled with many lists and I give this book two stars before getting half way through

Infomercial Material

If you've listened to as many business audio books as I have, you know the stories of Ben & Jerry, Honest Tea, Stoneyfield Farms, et. al. That's all you get with this book is the stories. Where is the insight? Where is the application and common truths for the rest of us. With a title like Inspire, I shouldn't expect more than a few mildly inspiring stories. I've been spoiled by the likes of Seth Godin and Tom Peters with inspiration followed by action items and lessons learned. Jim Champy writes in a simple style, lacking depth and insight. It leaves you wanting more. A "How To" book it is not.

Stow Lovejoy does a very nice job narrating this (un)inspiring business book. If you are going into the yogurt business: read/listen to this book. For the rest of us, time is much better spent elsewhere.

Title: The Way We'll Be

Subtitle: The Zogby Report on the Transformation of the American Dream

Author: John Zogby

Narrator: Dick Hill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-20-08

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Business, Marketing

Publisher's Summary:

Zogby gets to the bottom of this topic by doing what he does best: conducting and analyzing surveys. The conclusions outlined in The Way We'll Be are drawn from literally thousands of polls posed to the broadest possible cross-section of Americans since the 1960s.

However, Zogby's complex research techniques are nowhere near as astounding as his conclusions: that the American Dream is in great transition and that a new American consensus is building. According to Zogby, four meta-movements are redefining what we want, what we expect of our leaders, and what we hope for:

Editorial Reviews:

Lost your crystal ball? Let John Zogby tell you where you - and the rest of America - are going. One of the nation's foremost pollsters, Zogby uses information he's collected from everyday Americans to make startling conclusions about how the desires of 21st-century Americans have changed - and where those changes will take us in the years to come. Zogby sees upcoming generations of Americans who are willing to live with fewer material comforts, expect more cultural diversity, and demand more authenticity from their politicians, their national culture, and their communities. Narrator Dick Hill's lively reading brings home Zobgy's point that polling data doesn't just sketch our demographic and socioeconomic portrait; it gives us a glimpse into our changing national soul.

Critic Reviews:

"His intriguing claims will likely stimulate hope and continued debate." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

The Way We Won't

Very disappointing. Zogby never goes beyond all his data to draw the insightful connections or provide the penetrating analysis that I was looking for. Yes, his central theme that American's are now living within an age of limits is a strong observation (and backed up with data) - but I was left wondering what are the larger forces that have caused this shift. Mark Penn's book Microtrends is a much better book - as by slicing the world in smaller segments he is able to tell a deeper and more satisfying story.
