“We Are Smarter Than Me” is the first official book written by an online Wiki using online collaboration from multiple contributors from around the world. This is a new trend that is beginning to gain momentum throughout the world online. The book has main authors with a long list of credible contributors on top of it. The book appears to have that “wisdom of crowds” theme to it so I am excited to go purchase it.
This book is a fantastic example of how to use the internet to write your next book. There are many writers out there, who want to write a new book but lack the resources necessary to do it. An online wiki would work perfect for this. And even better than the online tool, is the ability for contributors to help you out. The following is short excerpt about the book:
“In We Are Smater Than Me, you will discover exactly how to use social networking and community in your business, driving better decision-making and greater profitability. The book shares powerful insights and new case studies from product development, manufacturing, marketing, customer service, finance, management, and beyond. You’ll learn which business functions can best be accomplished or supported by communities; how to provide effective moderation, balance structure with independence, manage risk, define success, implement effective metrics, and much more. From tools and processes to culture and leadership, We Are Smarter than Me will help you transform the promise of social networking into a profitable reality.“
