  Great Holiday Gift for Newbies
  
  Easy-to-follow instructions for all the new Facebookers in our family. Great to have this new revised edition! And a fun read.

  This is the users' manual for the "new" Facebook
  
  This newly revised, 2009 edition is the missing-- actually non-existent-- users' manual for the "new" facebook. Some of the previous reviews were written about the first edition, which is, as the reviewers say, indeed obsolete.
  
  This is a very good summary of Facebook's features for it intended audience, people who are new to social networking in general and new to Facebook specifically. As is the case with most of the "Dummies" books, the information is presented in small, easy-to-digest bites. It's certainly not a technical book, but it's technical enough to answer most of the questions a new user might have.
  
  The organization is very logical, beginning with how to set up an account and leading through how to add outside applications, use Facebook on a cell phone, etc. One very good feature is that at nearly every step, the authors point out pitfalls, traps, and potential dangers and explain how to avoid them. This allows new users to end up with an account that meets their needs-- and one that doesn't expose them to inconveniences or even stalkers.
  
  The authors are genuine Facebook experts; both of them are Facebook Product Managers with considerable experience. In my view, their tone is just right; it's authoritative without being pedantic, and light without being cutsie.
  
  I bought this book because some friends recommended that I join Facebook. I had no experience with it at all, and this book allowed me to get started quickly and to feel comfortable using it. I recommend it highly to all new Facebook users and to experienced users who want or need a good summary of the "new" Facebook's features.

  Already obsolete because Facebook has had a Facelift
  
  Since this book was published, Facebook looks quite a bit different and many of the functions described are either no longer working the same, if at all. This is tricky with books about Social Networking sites, that can change and be made "better" at any time. Yet, the authors don't address that up front, like other authors about other websites do. The book would be mildly helpful for a new user to Facebook, if they can decode the old Facebook from the new Facebook.
