http://www.amazon.com/Social-Media-Metrics-Marketing-Investment/dp/0470583789 The purpose of Social Media Metrics is not to convince companies about the importance of social media: "If you're still not sure whether social media is important or is important to your company, save this book for later."

Ergo: I highly recommend this book to any business owner or marketer.

In corporate and government bureaucracies, the standard method for making a presentation is to talk about a list of points organized onto slides projected up on the wall.
