This book is based on the highly acclaimed and sought after class, Power of Social Technology (PoST), at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
The dragonfly symbolizes happiness, new beginnings, and change across cultures and each section of the book is appropriately broken into wings based on four elements: Focus, Grab Attention, Engage, and TakeAction or Focus + GET.

Confession -- I actually finished this in January but never got around to reviewing it even though we've discussed it at work. Unlike fiction, I don't think the distance matters in a review and in some ways, it's probably more telling what I do recall -- if I've learned the lessons this book offered!

The book in general is excellent to start with social media communication. The dragonfly is the only insect that can move steadily in every direction which cannot be done unless with good coordination between the body and the four wings.
The book starts with identifying the four wings to start the dragonfly effect. These four are: Focus, grab attention, engage and take action (Focus + GET).
The first wing: Focus on a single goal to achieve it and followed by 5 design principles: Humanistic, acti ...more

The Dragonfly Effect: Quick, Effective, and Powerful Ways To Use Social Media to Drive Social Change
by Jennifer Aaker and Andy Smith has been sitting on my reading shelf for over nine years. I don’t have a good reason why I did not read it before now. But I am glad that I did. I would also have to say that the lessons in the book are as relevant now as when the book first came out. The purpose of the book is to explain how one can use social media for social good. While business owners can

This book has many helpful information on how to craft social media strategies to promote positive social change. I would like to say that the lessons in the book are as relevant now giving the fact that the book was published way earlier.The Book mentioned an excellent demonstration of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign which achieved blockbuster success using the then-new social media to promote his cause therefore ,Using existing social networking vehicles such as Twitter and Facebook.

This book helps the reader think through how social media can be used to further a cause. There are helpful ideas in this book. The first sections about focus and get attention offer sound advice. Unfortunately the tone of the next two sections, engage and take action, seems manipulative since the authors include for-profit companies in their examples. Still, by being a bit more selective in implementing the ideas from these chapters, one can still benefit from the authors' ideas and research.

This book emphasizes the power of social networks and explains detailed steps on how to take the technology development for granted using metaphor of a dragonfly's wings which create great stability and high load-bearing capacity during flapping flight.

The book ties in very well with the 'design thinking' taught at Stanford and practiced by IDEO. There is a good collection of organizations and groups who've used social media to make changes in the world. Easy, interesting read. Well researched.

A few weeks ago the director at my library sent out an email to managers gauging what the interest would be in participating in the Florida Library Association’s One Book, One State book discussion for 2013. The response was positive, so I placed a hold for the library’s digital copy and was able to read The Dragonfly Effect this past week.

How does one do effective marketing of a social cause in our contemporary world with its ubiquitous internet, email, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and online blogs? Jennifer Aaker and Andy Smith show how to harness the power of contemporary social media in The Dragonfly Effect. Their research led to developing a model of how to “Focus + GET” success. Jennifer is a social psychologist and professor of marketing at Stanford Business School; Andy, her husband, is a marketing consultant.

Jennifer Aaker and Andy Smith are clear that their goal in writing The Dragonfly Effect was to help the reader harness social technology to meet their goals. While the use of animal-themed literary devices to make business points could be worn out after penguins, mice, beavers and hedgehogs; that is not the case with this well-written and useful social media guide.

Within the Introduction, the following statement stood out like a flashing red light when I read it: "To be successful, you must translate your passion into a powerful story and tell it in a way that generates "contagious energy," so that your audience reflects on your tweet, blog post, or email, long after they leave their computers." This, right here, is where many SMBs struggle.

I found The Dragonfly Effect both moving and challenging. I saw immediately the potential one has when it comes to using social media to foster and promote change. I also saw the enormity of such a task as implementing a serious campaign for radical change. The authors do an amazing (and I don't use that adjective lightly) job of breaking the whole thing down so you can begin where you are and quickly get to where you want to be.

I've read quite a few books on social media over the past year and this one's the best! Their premise is that there are 4 facets of a successful campaign or promotion: Focus, Grab Attention, Engage, Take Action. They liken this to the four wings of a dragonfly that, when using all four of its wings, can fly in any direction, not just forward. The authors prove their points with numerous case studies that include methods and technologies used.

I just finished and it was a great read. Refreshing to read about about marketing for social change. The authors, Aaker and Smith, break down popular campaigns that used social media well and explain the hows and whys. The book is very easy to read.

The Dragonfly Effect is a quick, entertaining read packed full of examples on how to do just exactly what it says: use social media to drive social change. Frankly, I suspect that puts it in something of a niche market. I read it more for pointers on social media marketing in general, which can certainly be mined from the text but aren't always sitting conveniently on the surface since that wasn't really the authors' main objective (and the examples don't necessarily always translate well from t

Our thesis adviser urged us to read this, and in our meeting last Monday, he said that he would not meet with us unless our group finished this book; hence, my cramming it tonight. It was such an enlightening, empowering, inspiring read though! I loved the stories and the flowcharts that made the strategies easier to understand. I am actually currently typing up ideas for our crowd sourcing strategy based on what I learned from this book, which was frankly quite a lot. Data collection doesn't se

Maybe a bit too "techie" or business-y for me. I am just not at that level at this time in my life. Otherwise, an easy read for those who might have a use for using the techniques mentioned in this book. Sometimes I like books like these, if they are chatty enough, but if they expect you to know most of this stuff, this book just shows you how to use the tools you are already using in everyday life. Which is a level I am not at yet in anything.

Lays out principles of design and examines campaigns that have successfully used social media. Clearly explains how Facebook and Twitter can be used to mobilize folks to do real things offline. I appreciated the infusion of psychology within this book--examining why people may act the way they do, and what can drive them to make change.

an interesting take on how social media trends get started and are maintained. Thinking of how these tactics can be used for much more than advertising - spreading/promoting projects that impact others in more positive, lasting ways. (Also a little dry at times, but I read these books often. I must have been a marketer in a past life....)

Easy read but extremely helpful and interesting. The examples really helped clarify the guidelines and suggestions.
I would highly suggest this to anyone who has to write a big proposal for work or school and also for anyone who wants to start a charity or other organization. Anyone who wants to make a difference.
Great read!

Fantastic book, thanks Anu for the recommendation.
The Dragonfly Effect goes through from a strategic perspective entrepreneurs can leverage the power of Web2.0/ Social media to evoke social change; the book has a nice mix of anecdotes and theory leaving any aspiring entrepreneur with both a set of precedents but also a course of action.

The book itself was sticky, they focus on 4 Principles/Steps - Focus + GET (Grab Attention, Engage, and Take Action. Each chapter goes into detail on the 4 Principles and several real life examples are used to bring each principle to life, along with scripts (if yes then, if no then), and charts. If you are pressed for time the book is a quick read.

This book is a quick read into how to use social media for non-profits. I found that it started slow and then picked up as it went along. The really useful information is in the later chapters. The use of stories about individual organizations and people was interesting and useful, but the flow charts on action seemed forced and unnecessary, but are easily skipped over.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
