The holiday season reminds me of the song from the The Sound of Music , “My Favorite Things.”  Although there are many items on that list, I wanted to share a few of my favorite (PR 2.0) things that I’ve either read in 2009, or relied upon to get me through the year. Of course, I would love to mention everyone and everything that I find valuable online and read all year long, but then this wouldn’t be a blog post…it would be a BIG blog book

A Few of My Favorite Books:

•  Trust Agents by Chris Brogan & Julien Smith
