Reviews for Social Media on the Road
From the reviews: “This interesting presentation addresses human-computer mobile interactivity and the design of new applications and services. … Though the book is a brief 200 pages, it will stimulate readers to imagine the possibilities of vehicle-based computing. The chapter references and index provide additional details of this seldom-discussed topic.” (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2011)
