I read the older version of this because it's all the library had. It took me a long time to get through this book. It had some snippets of information that were really good and other times I felt like the author was just repeating himself. Because it was the older version it did not take into account the Facebook era of word-of-mouth. The new version might touch on this more and how to take advantage of what it has to offer.
Underneath it all a fairly straightforward book about viral marketing. Although it covers some interesting examples, it fails to deliver anything new and lacks a sense of delivering a strong framework which you can go out and make practical use of.
Overall, a good book to refresh your focus on the importance of word of mouth and how you should think viral, but doesn't deliver on ideas or implementation.

It is a good book, outlining some of the major principles of word-of-mouth marketing.
However, due to the fact that it was written in the year 2000 it is quite outdated. Understandably, there is nothing said about the emerging of the Social networking websites and their impact in word-of-mouth.
I think that is worth checking the sequel: The anatomy of Buzz revised :)

One of many books that came out around that time profiling viral marketing. Pretty good read if that's what floats your boat.
