Summary:

If you use the web to reach out beyond the confines of your office, cubicle, or home to connect and collaborate with others doing the same thing, you're a web worker. In this book you'll learn how to use new web tools, discover sites and services you might want to try, and meet the social web where people are as important as corporations. You'll learn how people are working in new ways because of the web, and how you can too.
