    I wish David had written this book 2yrs. ago.

    My wife gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card for Valentines day and while looking for another book I came across David Silver's book "Smart Start-ups". I bought his book instead of the other book and it turned out to be the right decision. David's book is probably the most comprehensive, "relevant content" filled business book I've read.
    If you are planning to put together an online social community this is definitely the book you need to start with. I am completely satisfied with the book and recommend it without reservation.
