Taking the concept of the Tipping Point further, what else could be expanded upon using this theory of face-to-face / personal recommendations and in what arenas can it be used?

I am considering whether I should require the users who download it to enter their name and e-mail address, or not. In your experience, are you less likely to download an eBook when it does ask you to provide your name and e-mail address? or is that not a big factor if you are interested in the topic.

On the back end, while most of the social utilities don't require much technical knowledge or ability, they are based on technical platforms, the understanding of which may help large entities better exploit social networking to support their organizational goals. That's the case for letting IT run your emerging social media activity. On the front end, remaining too technology-focused might result in getting tools in place without any kind of strategy.
