Book Reviews of What Would Google Do?
Book Review: Highly recomended for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was one of many on a list for a school project and it exceeded my expectations. It includes the author views on what a good company should be about and the way it should handle its customers. Jeff Jarvis gives some hands on bad experience that he had with a company and how he and the company handled his problem. His book gives an outilne on how growing companies can become even larger and by breaking down other companies secrets how to successfully build an empire from the ground up. All of the information that he gives is very insicive and should be taken into consideration by everyone. This book has given me lots of insight on corporations and how they work and is a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about business or even the average person to have more control over their life.Book Review: Technology Relevant 2010
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for some continued education at UCLA Film School for my Digital & Interactive Entertainment class and found Jeff Jarvis's book to be awesome and informative. This book gives lots of great information on how the internet and Google has changed how we do business today and will so in the future. Jeff has an extremely impressive resume and incorporates that throughout the book. I'd say the first 140 pages are packed with lots of good information which is the major focus of the book and the last 100 pages are hypothetical tangents just enjoyable to read. Open Source, Transparency, Googlejuice, Free, Small is the new big, are all important and relevant topics that What Would Google Do will cover. Enjoy I did. -A.W.Book Review: A book that changed my vision.
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought a translated version for $10 and finally decided to spend another $30 for an English version due to poor translation quality. I have been in online marketing industry for more than 10 years and running an online marketing company for the last 5 years. This book has radically changed the way I looked into my business.
I read it in a flight and immediately came up with ideas to be implemented in my business. As soon as I landed I wrote the ideas into my cell phone, and right after I arrived I pull out my laptop to do some more research and immediately drew a chatting conference with my web programmers to implement them. I believe they will take my business a leap ahead competition.
Well done Jeff.
Book Review: It's Google's World, We Just Live in It. What Would Google Do Gives You the Why and the How.
Summary: 5 Stars
In WWGD, Jarvis lays out 40 new rules for organizations operating in a Googlified world. Each rule insightful in its own right but what really pops are the ways Jarvis applies these rules to 20 very different businesses and categories -- eg, newspapers, airlines, banks, hospitals, even government.
It's one thing to identify new trends, it's quite another to demonstrate how they can be incorporated into a wide range of industries to improve performance. Jarvis does both well.
This book is required reading for anyone that wants to understand the impact Google has made and what it's going to take to survive and thrive in a "post-media" world.

Book Review: A brilliant, thought provoking, model changing MUST READ!
Summary: 5 Stars
By page 20 I was revising my entire business model. This book states the raw facts about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You the reader have to decide how these facts impact you, and what actions to take. I have read several of the negative or weak reviews of this book and am shocked at the stupidity, jealousy, and reader envy of the naysayers -- IGNORE THEM. They're the same people that look at price before value, and have no concept of serving customers to make a profit. Buy this book as fast as you can, and use the model of Google to the benefit of your company, your customers, and you. I did. Jeffrey Gitomer author of The Little Red Book of Selling.
