SOCIAL MEDIA CLUB ANNOUNCES MAY BOOK OF THE MONTH: CURATION NATION
Social Media Club has selected Curation Nation, by Steven Rosenbaum as our May Book Club title and look forward to the conversations around paid content vs. free content and how every one of us, is a curator.
To supplement our May Book of the Month selection, Steven will be joining us for a complimentary webinar on Monday, May 23rd at 2pm EDT for a more in-depth discussion around the future of curation, please join us by registering here.
We want to thank McGraw-Hill, who supported our Book Club initiative by sending copies of Curation Nation to our Professional members and chapters leaders last month, to review and share main takeaways with the rest of the SMC community.
One of our Book Club Member’s reviews of Curation Nation,
“I think people from widely varying backgrounds could sink their teeth into this book. Journalists who are skeptical of blogging might appreciate it because it shows how, the journalists, are primed to lead the digital revolution of the news industry. Their skill set is so needed yet pretty scarce in digital publishing. This book could also serve as the perfect textbook for a college course in social media since it documents some history of the industry, discusses relevant case studies, and provides a really solid foundation of concepts, vocabulary, and practices in which all marketers will soon need to be well-versed.”
via Alex Levine, SMC Professional Member
This complimentary webinar is open to all (Open/Pro/SMB/Corporate) members, on Monday, May 23rd at 2pm EDT — register here.
