| Summary |
"If you want to succeed on the Internet, forget trying to understand how the latest Web phenomenon works. Instead, you need to understand how the mind works. According to Jeffrey Stibel, the Internet is evolving into a brain - and the Web sites, communities, networks, and companies that leverage this insight will own the future. In Wired for Thought, he takes readers on a journey into the world of "neuron hunters" who are using their knowledge of the Internet's brainlike powers to create online businesses." |
|
"Viewing Web sites as the "neural networks" of the Internet, Stibel describes how ideas live, die, and spread like genetic material across the Web, quickly transforming the Internet from a mere repository of information to a "prediction machine" that can recognize patterns and intuit meaning. Through intriguing examples from Google, MySpace, The Search Agency, and others, Wired for Thought shows how this evolution is playing out - and offers practical advice and compelling predictions for innovators."--BOOK JACKET |
