Working on the Web is my primary job. Developping Social Networks since 1996 with many other teams is sometime difficult, cause you are only working by Email - without telephone or human contacts (except the Company who hires you). But tools like Skype are great to coordinate Teams. So I found this book interesting. Peter

Anne, I didn’t think you came off “snarky” at all but I agree with you that the limitations of text are dangerous. It is especially difficult to finesse social niceties into a 140 character Twitter. No matter how dependent we are on on-line text communication in any particular relationship, I find interspersing with interactive voice communication makes a huge difference.
Thanks Joshua for the book introduction. It looks like a book worth reading.

@Sarah: I’m working with Wiley right now to see if it might be made available for the Kindle.

@Josh: eek, my first comment came across as almost snarky now that I reread it but I meant it totally sincerely — I love to survey these topics and then get deeper insight from people like you. I hope my comment didn’t hit you the wrong way.

Gah! the difficulties of communicating only with text.

Josh, thanks so much for the review! I was frustrated I couldn’t cover some topics in more depth — especially the social science topics about how humans really behave in community.

Still I was happy to be able to cover the breadth of web working experience. Maybe in a later book I can go more into depth, or maybe I will leave that to deep thinkers like you!
