Can you recommend a social media guide?

[AdamThompson]

We have a summer intern we need to give a handbook/guide on social media strategies, best practices, etc. Any recommendations? It can be free or paid, as long as it is accurate and up-to-date!

I have never seen a definitive guide I have liked since so much changes all the time, so I usually get info from a bunch of different articles.  I've included a few I reference occasionally.

I like SEOMoz's: http://www.seomoz.org/article/social-media-marketing-tactics

That is a great reference if you are looking to prioritize sites or social networks.

I also like Dr. Pete's, although it's not really a full on how-to:

There's a nice little part on the infographic here:

I'm sure others will have more suggestions, possibly something a little more hands on.

I'd probably go with a book - either Inbound Marketing or Friends With Benefits
