"Facebook welcomes everyone" : Facebook For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))
I have a Facebook account but use it very little. I post the occasional picture, communicate with a friend or two, and seldom do much more. There's a [[ASIN:B00000IWCZ Boggle]]-like application called Pathwords that I was enjoying a lot, challenging and being challenged; I had a happy day when I beat my Australian son's high score, but then someone beat mine and ... well, you know. I've spent lots of time in the past on other websites: Yahoo 360, Multiply and Shelfari; I like to figure out how to navigate them on my own and have never had a problem making a nice profile page and interacting with friends. These days I spend more time on Amazon than on any other website.
When I saw [[ASIN:0470262737 Facebook For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))]] at the library, I thought maybe this book would inspire me to become more interested in Facebook, so I brought it home. As you would expect of a "for Dummies" product, it's very helpfully arranged and contains a wealth of information, tips and good ideas. Tonight I was reading about networking with old high school classmates and thinking, why? when, ironically, I had a phone call from an old high school classmate -- only the third time in around four decades that I've spoken with him, and it was a great pleasure. Hmmm ... so I went back to the book with a new desire to, well, network.
The book is arranged in five sections; the first chapter of each section is an overview. It must be accurate and thorough: the authors, Carolyn Abram and Leah Pearlman are Facebook Product Managers.
PART 1 is GETTING FAMILIAR WITH FACEBOOK, setting out the ground rules of the place. Facebook was first developed for college students but has much wider application now. Security and privacy concerns are to the forefront. You must be at least 13 years old to create a profile.
PART 2 is ADDING YOUR OWN FACE TO FACEBOOK; this section covers the joining process, posting photos, finding friends, and a general overview of applications.
PART 3, KEEPING CONNECTED AND STAYING IN TOUCH, describes networks, groups, events, and the mobile Facebook application. Make it essential to your life, then take it with you!
PART 4, IT'S NOT PERSONAL: IT'S BUSINESS describes applications and platforms for getting your business or your message out there. Businesses can create pages and demographically targeted "social ads" to further their goals.
PART 5 is called THE PART OF TENS and consists of ten examples of third-party applications, "case studies" on Facebook networking, and interesting groups.
Oh my! there's a lot here. It's too much information for my do-it-yourself taste, really, but then you don't have to use everything in the book if it doesn't suit your needs. Now that I've read the book I could certainly dive into Facebook with confidence and vigor, if I only had the time. Maybe when I retire ....
