Summary: Loaded with contradictions and irony
Review: This book probably had a little more pop in the early part of 2000, but it's obvious now after the demise of most Dot Com's that much of the author's advice is unproven. Companies he continually references, Amazon.com and Beyond.com, did see tremendous stock gains and gave their managers a false sense of success. I also felt like the author contradicted himself many times throughout the text. For example, he spent a great deal of time preaching the importance of customer feedback and response via email, only to later warn of the great dangers involved with communicating with your customers via on-line forums. They're both just channels of communication and good judgment needs to be used when communicating regardless of the medium.

Summary: A relic even before it hit store shelves
Review: This book should be where beyond.com is right now - in the trash. A perfect example of the smug "there at the right time" internet millionaire espousing common sense, and uncommon nonsense as business practice.
The tone of the book clearly broadcasts the authors ego and self importance. The content, however, reveals the truth; the bubble was always just full of hot air.
If are searching for a reference to help improve your management skills, look elsewhere.

Review: This book was written in and about the time before the dot-com's collapsed. I was hoping to get some real advice on running an internet enabled group, and was very dissapointed to find that this book is basically a day in the life of a work-a-holic .com CEO before his bubble burst.This is not a book I could suggest is worth your time or money if you are looking to get real ideas and lesson learned for use in your own business or job. Some pre dot-bomb books have lasted the test of time in the couple years since...this one has not. "The Customer Revolution" is a good example of a pre dot-bomb tech/business book that is still worth reading or listening to. Go look at that, or the many other still relevent books. Move along...nothing to see here folks.

Summary: EGO -- all marshmellow fluff
Review: While in traffic, I suffered the torture of listening to the 10-Second Internet Manager on a Book on Tape. I wish I had the luxury to flip through the unnecessary chatter of opting out on meetings, email rules, and his novel weighted ego as if I had a book, but with a Book on Tape I didn't have that luxury. One of the take away lessons that I did get out of this book was feel free to opt out on any meetings, birthday parties, or All-Ego Books on Tape if you feel like it is a waste of your time.

Summary: The E-mail & Meeting chapters are worth the money alone
Review: You don't have to own a company or need venture money to realize how valuable this book is. Times have changed, and you have to be organized and move fast to succeed. "It's survival of the fastest." This book is a quick read and a must read for any manager that is busy, uses E-mail & has meetings.
