After reading Mikal and Joe's new book, I now know how Facebook works! For some people such as myself, in the upper 50's age bracket, getting a grasp on social media can be a bit overwhelming and out of reach. But after reading this book (it only took an afternoon!), I discovered that I wasn't the "idiot" that I thought I was. But isn't this the purpose of the book? It accomplished it's mission for me and now I am getting more Friends Requests that I ever thought possible and am connecting with people I haven't seen or worked with for 30 years! They saw me on Facebook :-)
Again, this is a fun and informative (and simple) approach to giving everyone an opportunity to join the new millenium and not feel as if they have to get a Master's Degree in computer technology. If you can find the "on" button on your computer, you can do this. I also found that the "Netiquettes", the "Pokes", the "Whoas!" and the "Friend-ly Advice" comments were perfect to help me see how to interact effectively with all of my new "friends." Speaking of that, I also realized that I don't have to accept just "anybody." I can be choosey and at the same time, make sure I don't leave anyone out. My focus is to do what I do best...and the authors have made sure that I don't have to spend all of my valuable time trying to figure out what button to push next just to communicate with people that I know from around the world and see what's on their mind. I recommend this book 100%.

By Steve Lindhorst
After reading it, I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn everything Facebook - whether you're a newbie - or a seasoned entrepreneur. If you appreciate clear instruction, in plain-English, this book is going to help you. One thing that I especially appreciated about The Complete Idiot's Guide to Facebook is that it's not just a regurgitated "How to" guide. It explains the principles behind the various features - so when the Facebook makes changes, you'll still understand what you're doing. What if you already have experience with Facebook? Well, I do - and I learned there was a lot of features I haven't been using. Features that can improve my business. I've always "poo-poo'ed" the idea of the special page for my business, but, well - I'll be building one this weekend.

This wonderfully accessible, straight-forward book is a must-read for beginner and seasoned Facebook users alike. Mikal and Joe have covered everything from account setup to protecting you privacy to important points of ettiquette/netiquette which we can too often forget or overlook. Informative and funny, these two take you on a journey through the wonderful world of Facebook fun and foibles, reminding us never to hit 'reply all' unintentionally and not to 'poke' too much. One can often tell a new user by their abuse of such features, which can not only irritate but expose 'too much information' in more unfortunate instances. This handy guide goes step by step through photo uploads, creating the 'right' image for yourself, setting your privacy settings as appropriate and safe for you, the wiles of 'friending' and 'de-friending' people and the potential perils, present and future that can come of any of the above.
A book not to be missed, the Complete Idiot's Guide to Facebook, will help you and your family members to make the most of this invaluable and evocative medium of communication and marketing.
