May Event Announced: SMCSFO Presents Social Media vs. Social Business, What's the Difference?

A Book Review: Content Rules by Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman
I just finished reading this month's Social Media Book Club featured book, Content Rules, by Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman, and this book is full of helpful tips and sage advice on how to reach - and more importantly, engage - your customers by creating solid, interesting and shareable content.
First let me say - there is no magic bullet here - but honestly, that is probably why this book receives high marks from me. It is written by two people who practice what they preach and come at it via what I like to call 'common sense marketing'.
