Enabling Social Change Through Social Media: A Bibliography
New to social media and wisdom entrepreneurship and wondering how to move up the learning curve faster?
I'll be part of a presentation on enabling social change through social media. The audience is a group of Regis University students who are learning about leadership.
I've asked my fellow co-presenters, people well-versed in using social media to do good, to provide their recommendations for books, articles, and blogs related to this topic. Here's our collective bibliography, from Kim Dority, Dave Taylor, Dave Webb, and myself:
Books and Articles
- CauseWired: Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World by Tom Watson
- Saving the World at Work by Tim Sanders
- Groundswell by Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li
- Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky
- How to Use Social Media for Social Change by Sarah Perez
- Influence: Science and Practice by Robert Cialdini
- The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
- Tribes by Seth Godin
- Wikinomics by Don Tapscott & Anthony Williams
Sites
It always makes me happy to find interesting books to read and new sites to explore. Many thanks to my fellow co-presenters for contributing to this list. What books, articles, blogs do you recommend for wisdom entrepreneurs?
Update: During our panel discussion at Regis, Dave Webb suggested a paper just issued by Edelman, the PR firm, titled, "Social Pulpit: Barack Obama's Social Media Toolkit." It's a thorough analysis of the Obama campaign's social media strategy and use of tools, to create the desired outcome–a landslide victory fueled by grassroots support. A must read.
