Social media has democratized influence, forever changing the way businesses communicate with customers and the way customers affect the decisions of their peers. With platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, anyone can now find and connect with others who share similar interests, challenges, and beliefs—creating communities that shape and steer the perception of brands.

Do you remember the rule of 1/9/90? It was a rule of thumb for web designers: 1% create, 9% comment and 90% consum. If your business depended on the 1%, you were typically in trouble.

It hasn't actually been that long since the Spanish American War in 1898. Human nature doesn't change. We will always have influencers in the community who can sway people. What has changed is the technology making relationship building easier.
I wish I'd read this book when I graduated. I wouldn't have been less lost, but the beautiful voices, stories and experiences in these pages would have helped me understand that, before I could find myself, I had to lose myself first.
