Here is what others are saying about the book:

I have nearly 900 “close friends” on LinkedIn. These are people I know or know now because I felt they belonged in my social network. I’ve had coffee or beer with a few of them but I still count most of them as close friends… close enough to be able to ask them a question without hesitation or introduce them to someone I know. They are my social network.

Social networks let people build communities of people. They are interconnected networks where you all have something in common — each other. Social networking sites create a place where you can introduce your friends to your friends’ friends, where you can share your intellectual wealth. “The Emergence of The Relationship Economy” encompasses the why and how of social networks. The authors offer a detailed look into the inner workings of social network platforms and examine how adults are adopting the tools of youth to transform the wisdom and relationships of adulthood. Business executives should use this book to understand why it is important to embrace these new tools because their employees will eventually demand them.

I will look forward to getting their book, The Emergence of The Relationship Economy, and knowing the depth and talent of this group I would assume many more breakthrough insights and product offerings which we as operators can use for the benefit of our members. The social networking space clearly needs some guidance and it is thought leaders like Link To Your World that can provide the independent viewpoints that users will respect and follow.”
