Chris Brogan has a new book. It’s called Trust Agents. Brogan is a blogger, a super blogger with a knack for building huge communities. His focus is on how to leverage New Media for business. For him, it’s all about best practices, transparency, and TRUST.
The great thing about Chris is that he asks questions. He is one of the leaders, exploring his way across the universe of the interweb, and finding ways to make the web work. He listens to his community, and finds ways to put their ideas into action. He is a playful spirit, always looking for the bright side, and bringing out the best in everyone around him. He writes in an informal first person style, and is very consistent. If you are not reading Chris Brogans blog, Miss Apps suggests you might find a friend or two over there, especially if you are a student of New Media and social Networking.
