A couple of thoughtful and in-depth reviews of Wikinomics
Peter Wayner posted a long, in-depth review of Wikinomics on Slashdot yesterday. His summary of the book “the pros and cons of wikis and their place in business”. Aside from the fact that it was a well done review, it’s always cool to be ‘Slashdotted’ (for those who are interested read the Slashdot effect, fittingly a Wikipedia article). There was another good review posted by John Blossom titled “Reading List: Wikinomics Lays Out the Case for Nomadic Economics Based on Collaborative Publishing”

Just read an excellent review of the book in Management Today (UK) by Roger Parry (chair of YouGov) – he finishes ‘This is one of the best business books I have read for years. If you are running a business, you would be cavalier not to take on board its messages. Wikinomics is an important book on a fascinating subject’. I could not have said better myself!
Thanks!,

I am almost done reading the book and loving it. As a technologist and avid Amazon reviewer (#80), I will most definitely be reviewing it shortly.
In a post about The World Is Flat, I recommended to people who wanted to technology/economics focus to skip that book and pick this one up. I’ve found it to be much more focused on these topics than Freedman’s work.
