Trevor Cook and Lee Hopkins have teamed up to offer a wonderful new resource — an introductory guide to social media. Are you a newbie to the online space? Or maybe you’re already well involved in social media, but you’re such an expert you might need some help explaining it to folks new to the medium. Then step right up — this 30-page e-book is for you!
This guide is good and thorough, covering everything from the basics of RSS right through tips for a successful blog and on to site stats and monitoring. And a major plus, in my eyes at least, is that they’ll be periodically updating it. This is only version 1.0. One of the key traits of social media is how rapidly it changes, so naturally any guide that covers it needs to stay up-to-speed. So thumbs up to that.
Bravo to these guys for putting together such a handy resource!

Here’s my request for version 2 (or 1.1): they need to include a note on wikis, exemplified of course by Wikipedia. These collaborative websites have great potential for team and project work.

Agree with you, Richard. It shall be included in Version 1.1; we figured that (Australian) businesses aren’t ready for wikis just yet, but our overseas readers just might be…
Cheers for the thought (and for reading it!),
Lee
