David Meerman Scott
"World Wide Rave" van David Meerman Scott benadrukt het belang van authentieke en interessante content die mensen willen delen. Het boek stelt dat je controle moet loslaten over je boodschap en je waardevolle informatie vrij toegankelijk moet maken om online te kunnen verspreiden. Succesvolle ideeën ontstaan uit het oplossen van problemen en het aanspreken van de behoeften van mensen.

Point the world to your (virtual) doorstep. (Location 191)
