What are the best books on social media marketing?

[Dick Whitman]

I'd like some recommendations for books about social media marketing. Specifically, best practices and examples of how companies are using sites like Facebook/Myspace/Twitter to build their businesses.

Thanks

Not sure what's best but two great places to start are:

Seth Godin's site and Chris Brogan's site. Both have written books on the subject.
