This book describes what happens when ordinary people get convenient, ubiquitous broadband access to the Internet. As the web becomes easier to contribute to, and less of a nerdy gadget, it becomes a social environment - another aspect of our neighborhood. This book is about how these new forms of social networking are changing the way people shop, get jobs, meet each other, do smart business, enrich their lives, and even elect a President. It's a fascinating read and a practical inside look at the common thread behind several of the year's biggest stories. It features firsthand interviews with key players and shows the reader how they can take full advantage of this extraordinary revolution.
