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.

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

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]
