I have decided that I still have much to learn about social media and that to do that I should read some books designed to teach me everything I need to know. Thanks to 10 Must-Read ebooks for Social Media Lovers and Top 5 Must-Read Social Media Books, from Mashable, and a small search on Amazon I have compiled a list of social media books I feel I must read.
The World According to Twitter - The Wit and Wisdom of the Twittersphere captured in a hilarious, and occasionally poignant, collection of handpicked tweets-the first-ever book created exclusively using content from Twitter.com!

On February 18th I had the privilege of attending one of Quinte's tweet-ups. This was my first tweet-up and I'm very happy I went. Being new to the twitter world, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but luckily I had back-up in the form of friends. One was an avid tweeter who seemed to know everyone through twitter, while the other was even newer to twitter than I, and wasn’t following anyone in the room. I sat comfortably in the middle, and although I'd followed some of the people that attended, there were still several that I didn’t know.
Everything at the tweet up ran smoothly, and awkward pauses, which I thought would be abundant, where few and far between. Conversation flowed freely from what was happening in Belleville, to the Olympics, to what so-and-so tweeted. It was a nice change to have full-blown conversations with people whose communication is normally limited to...
I've seen this video a few times and every time I love it more. If you're ever wondering what the scope and impact of social media is, this video shows it.
I have been on a bit of a health kick lately, and have been riding my bike a lot in the evenings after dinner. It's been great getting back into riding, and I actually still have my original mountain bike from when I was a kid. Still works great, even though it's from the mid 90's. Recently I stumbled across a website called Our For a Ride, which is a social network for cycling enthusiats.
Users of the site are able to enter all of their different bikes and gear into the system, create routes that they take around the city using a slick google maps editor, and also track their rides once they have created a route. This is a pretty great idea, you don't need a speedometer, or a GPS when you are riding, all you do is setup the route you plan to take, go ride the route and time yourself while you are at it. Once you get back, you just add a new ride, select the route you took, enter...

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding young people and why they don’t tweet. This video by Beth Kanter nails it. Watching this made me realize, young people don’t tweet, young professionals do. That’s why I was so excited when I heard a few weeks ago that @LenKendall was working on a project to create a list of the top under 30 tweeters. The list was released today; Top 30 Under 30 Tweeters: Volume 1. The first of many to come, this list recognizes up and coming under 30 tweeters and is meant to be a resource for young people on Twitter to aspire to. Not only are there some amazing people featured, but there are also over 100 nominees that are equally incredible that should not be overlooked. As Len describes it:
‘To recap the 30 under 30 Tweeters Project, we set out to find the best tweeters born after 1979 so that there would be a resource out there that people in this...
