Social Media Metrics. How to measure and optimize your marketing investment. Jim Sterne.2010. ISBN 9780470583784.   An excellent resource referenced in Running Lean. Clearly written and not even close to being dated.  I appreciated his comment near the end that the major shifts are happening on the buy side of the equation, while the sell side is falling behind the increasing sophistication and connectedness of the buyers.  The warning I give to the “non Facebook” generation is that by not using these tools strategically  now, you are completely ignorant of the sea shift of change going on. You  are on a very gentle down-slope and do not know it  Others who start the learning process, will slowly accelerate away as the environment shifts away from you.  Very valuable resource and as he says this is some very heavy lifting (but not hard reading) .  But it should scare the complacency out of senior management everywhere.
