Navigating a virtual world
One of my on-line acquaintances invited me to join Facebook late last year. Initially I hesitated, but then I figured it was worth checking out. I’m so pleased I did: a number of my friends from other online communities have a presence on Facebook and for a few of us it is the easiest way to communicate, share updates and photographs.
But wait, folks, that’s not all! By now, I can navigate my way around Facebook , have tried many of the applications and possibly tested the tolerance of some of my friends as a consequence.
One of my other (Amazon and Facebook) friends reviewed this book, and I just had to read it as a consequence. I’m delighted that I did: not only are the authors clearly women of taste and discernment as is evidenced by them also being part of the (fluff) Friends community, they have provided a book with heaps of information for those of us who are still print oriented enough to feel comforted by guides. Many users of Facebook will get by just fine without referring to this book. Others may want even more. For myself, I now know more about some of the functionality and applications and feel more in control of my Facebook experience as a consequence.
The virtual world is no substitute for the actual world, but it has an appeal of its own. So excuse me while I duck off to feed and race my (fluff) Friend.

Very helpful, but even though it's got a 2008 copyright date, parts of it were being outdated even as I read it (goodbye, Limited Profile; goodbye, network pages; goodbye, basic layout...).
