I received an advanced review copy of Word of Mouse: 101+ Trends in How we Buy, Sell, Live, Learn, Work and Play by Marc Ostrofsky a while ago, but held off reviewing it until its release. I did this because I didn’t want you to have to wait to get your own copy, because you’re going to want one after I finish telling you about this book.
This valuable volume is chock-full of useful information on how to use technology and the Internet effectively, thoughtfully and stylishly.

Author of the New York Times best-sellerGet Rich Click!: The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet, Ostrofsky generously shares his wealth of knowledge on everything from the best apps to data analytics, from cloud collaboration services to cybercrime protection for road warriors, to trending lingo such as recommerce (online sales/swapping) and statusphere (which he defines as the status boost conferred by environmentally responsible shopping). Graphs, boxes, bullet points and other design elements enhance Ostrofsky’s tidy tips and straightforward explanations. Word of Mouse: 101+ Trends in How We Buy, Sell, Live, Learn, Work, and Play is a resource you’ll refer to again and again.
