Community Techknowledge | Web-based software for nonprofits | Technology with a Heart 11 Social media books that are essential reading for anybody in the industry We spend so much of our time online reading short snippets of information about our industry that sometime we forget to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Reading books is a great way to get some extra insight in to your industry especially in to one as new as social media.

If you are new to the industry or trying to find your feet then I'd order a selection of these and get your head buried in to them. There is so much waffle online when it comes to our industry that I really can't recommend enough that you get offline (Or even better get a Kindle and download them all immediately ) and start reading some of these books about social media.

The Elegant Universe: Pt 1 The Elegant Universe: Part 3 PBS Airdate: November 4, 2003 NARRATOR: Now, on NOVA, take a thrill ride into a world stranger than science fiction, where you play the game by breaking some rules, where a new view of the universe pushes you beyond the limits of your wildest imagination. This is the world of "string theory," a way of describing every force and all matter from an atom to earth, to the end of the galaxies—from the birth of time to its final tick, in a single theory, a "Theory of Everything." BRIAN GREENE (Columbia University): And no matter how many times I come here, I never seem to get used to it. NARRATOR: Can he help us solve the greatest puzzle of modern physics—that our understanding of the universe is based on two sets of laws that don't agree?

Yesterday’s labour market statistics showed that the self-employment figures are up once again. Close to 75,000 more people became self-employed in the last 3 months of this year, which means we’ve seen an increase of around 340,000 over the last 12 months alone.

You Are Not Optimizing Pages, You Are Optimizing Thought Processes This is a quote by Flint McGlaughlin, the founder of MarketingExperiments, a company which cooperates with some of the biggest brands worldwide (NYTimes, Routers etc.) in optimizing their landing pages (usually ‘subscription pages’ in the case of publishers like NYTimes). If you’ve ever been asked to design 2 separate versions of a webpage (for the purpose of A/B split testing), this “you are not optimizing pages, you are optimizing thought processes” concept can help you tremendously. a) Where am I? 2. 3. 4.
