SWOM update & book giveaway

Three weeks ago, we launched the Society for Word of Mouth, a social network and educational resource for making word of mouth fundamental to the DNA of any organization.

Here's what's been happening so far:

  • We’re at 409 members so far. Thanks to prolific SWOM evangelists Leslie Banks, Tami Belt, C.C. Chapman and Zane Safrit for using the network's Invite feature to tell their friends and colleagues about SWOM.
  • SWOMies have posted 38 discussion forum topics, including word-of-mouth brainstorms on for SWOMies' restaurants, carpet-cleaning businesses and new web services.
  • SWOMies have formed 34 various groups, including location-based groups in Austin, Toronto, Palm Beach, Washington D.C., Pacific Northwest, Hollywood, Chicago, Hungary, Finland, and Germany.

Also, Dan Pink, author of “A Whole New Mind” and “Free Agent Nation”, has a cool new book out called “The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You Will Ever Need.” It's the first American business book ever written in manga, the Japanese comic format. Dan is giving away 5 autographed copies of the book to SWOMies, and here’s how you can win one.

By Wednesday, April 2, midnight CST, join SWOM and ensure you have filled out every field of your SWOM profile, including an actual picture of yourself. (Note to current SWOMies: we may have added a few fields since you joined.) We'll pick 5 random winners and announce them next week on the SWOM network.
