Think big. Instead of designing a website, this book is about designing a social networking site. Niche networks can attract targeted communities of people ready to become loyal customers. The book was published in 2009, and at the five-year mark, contains a good amount of content which is current, including a wealth of online resources. I recommend it if you work in -- or are thinking about starting -- a social networking business.
