'Enterprise Social Technology': New Book Crowdsources Marketing and is giving away over $20,000.00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 18, 2011 -- Scott Klososky’s new book “Enterprise Social Technology” is about helping organizations harness the power of : Social Media, Social Networking & Social Relevancy

According to Scott Klososky – “Social technologies have exploded into the business world, yet are vastly misunderstood. Many organizations are either blocking their use, or simply experimenting with how they might be of benefit. Because tools like Facebook, Twitter, & LinkedIn started with personal use, little has been done to holistically address how social tools can be fully integrated into an organization. In addition, most leaders have little idea what the full collection of capabilities is that exist under the social umbrella.”

One of the first books to be crowdsourced from start to finish & serves as a new example of how social tech and the world of publishing can be blended.
