This week Jared Parmenter, interactive media specialist at
Dodge College of Film and Media Arts
, answers “What are you reading this summer?”
“Looking for a crash course in the new frontiers of social media? Pick up
Chris Brogan’s
Social Media 101.
This handy guide teaches the basics of the social web – everything from setting up your first Facebook fan page, to advice on producing great blog content, to advanced tips on cultivating and curating your own online networks – in a fun, lighthearted format that embraces creativity and independent thought. Compiled mostly from posts already available on his personal blog, the book is divided into practical sections that break down abstract ideas and problems into bite-sized, action-oriented chunks. While it doesn’t boast an incredibly comprehensive table of contents, it is a great introductory text for any hungry social media student – and unlike most first-year textbooks, this one only costs about the price of a pizza.” (Editor’s note: Watch a Chris Brogan interview on
