But if I may, I would like to add few more comments. I think this is a very good book, as suggested above. However, there are few things that I don't really like about it. First, Silver suggested that the online community will thrive, and the traditional marketing will wither. He even suggested that this event will occur within the next 5 years. This is a pretty strong statement, but I don't really believe in it. Traditional marketing carries strong momentum, and it is hard to stop. I do believe that online recommender community will thrive but the claim that the product vendor and marketing companies will subdue to the online community, in my opinion, is too strong. Secondly, there are too much details in the book. Although details are good for references, it does not engage me when I am reading the book. In fact, most of the time, I would skip the details to the next part. Don't get me wrong, the details are good, but perhaps not for me, at least not for now. Finally, I don't believe that all 18 revenue channels will work for ALL communities. If you are starting a company, you may have to ponder which of the 18 channels fits your community and the culture in your country. Great review. But if I may, I would like to add few more comments.
