This book is based on two drafts/concepts (on social networking and marketing, and social networking and security) that I had registered with WGA in 2008, before giving a non-exclusive license to part of the material to contribute to a marketing book, and preparing to contribute to a book on networking (technology and methods; eventually my participation was scuttled), extensively revised and updated in 2013.
Focus: social media, communication, marketing, business, security, social change.
