Marketing to the Social Web Book by Larry Weber
“Users do not simply pull content down from websites, but also push content up, sharing text messages on Twitter, photos on Flickr, home (or cell phone) videos on YouTube, and their lives on Facebook, Linked In, and other social networking sites. Today's web is the "social web," where young and old increasingly share their experiences. The volume of information exchanged every day has already reached the mind-boggling level. “
