From the book reviews:
“The authors present how social media interactions, like Twitter comments, Pickles reviews, and Foursquare check-ins, can help researchers and urban planners to analyze the urban space. … There are numerous potentially captivating figures and tables illustrating the presented concepts and case studies. … This book serves as a handy overview of this interesting emerging field.” (D. Spinellis, Computing Reviews, July, 2014)
