If you want to learn about Facebook, buy this book
I was lucky enough to meet Jesse Stay, co-author of this book at GSP West a few months back. He offered me a copy to give away on my blog, Beth’s Blog.

I read this book — Now what?
I bought this book because I thought it would help me with a little self-promotion in performing arts. I was able to glean one or two tips that were marginally useful.

An excellent collection of advice and information
I’ve been on Facebook for a while now, but haven’t really been an active participant as much as I probably should have been.

Outdated, superficial, trite.
This book is very clearly self-published and, in my opinion, sought to make a quick buck when Facebook opened its gateway to anyone who wanted to join.

****
This book is an fine introduction to Facebook for business professionals and others (like me) who just want to stay in touch with people for social reasons. It is less than 100 pages, a quick easy read, with good information. I liked that I could read it in a couple of hours and begin to use it the same day. It is especially helpful in understanding what Facebook can do for you professionally or socially.

I would choose this as a first or only book to read about Facebook before getting started. Although I’ve been using Facebook for about a year, I under-utilize its capabilities, and found lots of good ideas.

Recommended.

UPDATE: I recently read O’Reilly’s “Facebook: The Missing Manual”, which has much more in-depth information as well as many, many screen shots. I gave this book five stars, as it explains HOW to do things in Facebook. “I’m On Facebook: Now What?” explains less of HOW and more of WHY. If I had to do it all over again, I’d probably buy both, but if I had to chose one, it would be “Facebook: The Missing Manual”.
