The Birth of Social Media.

Revisado: 12-03-18

As someone who works and spends way too much time on social media, I've often found myself wondering where this crazy digital community come from. I caught the tail end of Friendster, but I never heard of theglobe.com until much later. What one would find in this book is the incredible story of one of the most influential websites in the early years of the web told by one of the two wunderkinds who created it.


His life is a whirlwind of events that lead to him force a massive shift in the digital world forever. But what makes "A Very Public Offering" so engaging is actually not the story of theglobe.com, but of the author Stephan Paternot.    His personal life is just as engaging as he takes stock in the many lessons learned from his family and    friends and reflects on the wild roller coaster ride that is The Globe as it spirals from a billion dollar IPO to a burnt out brand.


For anyone looking for a deeper look at the beginning of the web or just an inspirational story that builds on the human spirit and overcoming the odds, I cannot recommend this book enough. Also, if you're a fan of audiobooks, Stephan takes the time to actually read the audio version. Who better to narrate than the man who lived the story?
