I particularly like the lists on pages 125-6 - “10 commandments of receiving feedback” and pages 175-6 “10 things you can do to create amazing customer experiences”.

Andy Warren left a great comment yesterday in response to Social networks as entertainment. He wrote:
There’s been an interesting episode on Faceparty (see The Register for more details) where an almighty row has occurred between the users (who don’t pay anything for the service) and the providers (who don’t get paid to provide the [...]
I write from time to time here about mass collaboration - and it is something I have been thinking about more recently as I read Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody.

Up till now I have been watching the Scoble Facebook fight in a half interested kind of way. For those of you that are new to this Scoble ran a script to pull his friend list and other personal data out of Facebook. This is a violation of Facebook’s Ts & Cs [...]
Firstly - Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2008 brings you everything you want and more. For me, it is good to be back in the saddle.
