I have added a new category to my Blog and in honour of this new category, Wendy’s Book Club, I would like to introduce you to a new book that was released just last week.

I was reading a book by Erik Qualman called ‘Socialnomics” recently and at one point the author talked about assessing your life through your social media posts.  I found this quite fascinating and thought I would share it with you.

Qualman states that social media allows you to take a ‘real-time inventory of your life’.  One of the examples comes from 83 year old Bill Tily: Continue reading »
