Has anyone here read Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point"?

I'm writing a story about a guy trying to start a revolution in a city taken over by foriegn oppressors. And what information I've read on the book looks like there is a lot in there about the spread of an idea/epidemic/revolution.

If anyone has read it, I'd appreciate letting me know so I can ask you about it.

One question mark after a question is enough. The extras just look stupid.

Play nice.

Sorry. No hard feelings, Lyr? [Blushing]

All is forgiven.

I've read it.

Darn, and I thought you were talking about the album. One of my favorites, oh well.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

Alright, from what I've read, the book talks about Mavens, Connectors, and Salespeople. But their role isn't elaborated on, and I don't have the money to buy the book myself so I only know what I read on sites about the book.

These three people seem to be interconnected though, whats the difference between them?

Well, I'm relieved.

I thought the thread was going to be about cows. [Wink]

Don't know anything about the book, but glad it isn't what I thought it was. [Smile]
