One more day left in the O’Reilly blogger review program.  This time I have been looking at The Art of Community by Jono Bacon.

Overall it’s a great book for a foundation in community building and growing social websites.  It’s filled with lots of good advice and common sense.  My main complaint is I wish there were more stories.  You can’t always expect the author to be authoritative on every topic, as a reader you want more anecdotes and support for why you should take the authors advice.  It may not be a good fit for seasoned community managers, but it’s a great volume for programmers, project managers and young community managers.  It’s well worth a read.
