Ray Poynter finished and delivered the final draft of The Handbook of Online and Social Media Research: The New Rules and Tools for Market Research to the Wiley Publishing Company. 

While writing his book, Ray shared some Excerpts from it and received feedback via LinkedIn from many market research academics and practitioners, as he acknowledges on his blog:


"Many thanks to everybody who has helped me along the way. The people below have all helped. Some by suggesting ideas on this blog (to the book related posts), some via a group on LinkedIn, and some by reading drafts, some by supplying hard to find information, others by supplying interviews".
