I'm averaging my rating because I already live and share online so this book didn't have anything new for me. I'd give it 2 stars for someone like me. If you're an executive with the ability to delegate and you're not already sharing online or participating in your intranet, then this could be a 3-4 star book for you - 3 stars if you already know some, 4 if you haven't done anything in this arena yet.

I mostly read this book because Li is speaking at my organization's conference this summer, and I wanted a preview of what she might discuss. I figured it would be a quick read, and it is. I'll be interested to hear how she translates the content of the book to a profession where it's rare for a director to be able to delegate personal posting or content aggregation. Although I know it would date the book, I was disappointed that there weren't more tools and daily strategies mentioned.
