Instant Messaging clients like Messenger and ICQ once made terms like WTF and LOL mainstream, as they were used in person-to-person chats, but it can be said that the rise of social media has meant that these terms now live in the public domain, and are becoming ubiquitous in today’s culture. Oxford Dictionary agrees, as they’ve added a whole slew of WTF words to the library.

My really good friend Gary Vaynerchuk made big announcement today: his book has gone for sale on Amazon. It is now available for pre-order and has hit the top 300 books on Amazon. The goal? To hit the Top 100. If anybody can get their book to the top 100, Gary Vaynerchuk can and it makes a great case study for the impact of social media. The best part is that the book only costs $13.57.
If you want to get an early copy go grab it on Amazon. The most amazing part is just through his announcement on his show today, the book has reached the top 300 on Amazon. I have no idea how good the book is but given Gary’s enthusiasm about wine I can guarantee you that a lot of passion went into the writing of it.
Gary is a great find of mine so I had to help him out and “link it up”. If you don’t know much about Gary then you need to check out his show Winelibrary TV as well as his personal blog Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary is one of the most passionate people I know and is a true symbol of social media self-promotion. Check out his video below if you don’t know much about him.
