"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan

读后感

1.流行三要素：传播行为、传播物本身、传播物发挥作用的环境。 2.个别人物法则(Law of the Few)：三种关键角色联系员、内行、销售员。联系员维系着大规模的弱联系，是小世界中的社交经纪，他们不会回避对于社交关系的义务，在维持简单、随意、广泛的社交中获得快乐；内行会主...  

过去读过一次，觉得还好而已。有一些不错的点子，不过毕竟这么老的书了。。。。看完后推荐Dan and Chip heath的switch和Made to stick，有更深层次的讨论和更详细的例子。 ============================================== 　　传播的媒介（人）： 　　 　　super connect...  

对于这本书，可以肯定在西方社会流行程度会超过中国，西人擅长理学，逻辑实证精神一直备受推崇，所谓知其然更知其所以然，而东方思维大抵反之，之前看了较多日本设计大家的经典，也当是换个口味。 确实，书里的例子重复引用，这种举例方法初看是絮絮叨叨，言之过实而无法升华...  

书的内容暂时不表！在这里通缉一下中信出版社！ 原著写于2000年出头。中信出版社在2002年就已翻译出版过此书！原名《引爆流行》。本是旧书出新颜，无可厚非！但换包装，换书名，不惜浪费国内出版行业最稀缺的ISBN资源换刊号，隐性的提高售价（原书18，现书30元），以上种种来博...  

刚在当当买了这本书,我认为"引爆点"更加传神,我们不能把中文的意思又翻译回英文去对照翻译啊,因为每一次翻译均有信息的衰减(申农:<控制论>). 我们生活在一个网络的年代，几乎所有的事物都相互联系，一个事物如果不是一个节点，也会是一个联接。信息在各个节点之间通过联接进行...
