Facebook For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

Rating: - Out of Date This was probably a very worthwhile book a year and a half ago when it was written. But Facebook has undergone so many changes since then, that the book today is only of marginal value to a new user like me. Illustrations and instructions bear little resemblance to the Facebook you see on your computer screen. Book needs updating badly. Thank goodness for friends who were able to guide me through. Rating: - Danger, Will Robinson! I got the Kindle download, was merrily following along until the very-entertaining writers got down to actual screens, apps, etc and ... hunh? Reviews on Kindle fail to mention that it is woefully out-of-date. Screens have all undergone one or more major revamps since it was promulgated and many things they instruct about simply no longer exist, as in: "Cool! I can see who of my friends is online now?!... WHAT arrow in the center of the right side!?" A trip to FB online Help says: Nope! Feature: intermittent - and constantly moving around as FB's techies continue to tinker. The book is good for general concepts - only that and nothing more. Otherwise, it frequently resembles a guide to US IRS Form 1040 based on Canadian forms. /TundraVision, Amazon Reviewer Rating: - Facebook for Dummies in out of date This book, while somewhat useful, is out of date and doesn't match what is on the facebook screens or how some activities behave. I cannot recommend it for a new user. Rating: - Useless Now! I purchased this book, then Facebook changed Format. Amazon.com then was most gracious and allowed me to return it for a full refund. (they even sent me a shipping Label)... Thanks Amazon--I'll be back! Rating: - Facebook for Dummies This is a great book. It has really helped me to sort through Facebook and learn how to use its many features. I even take this book with be each week to Web Club to share the knowledge in the book. page 2 of  5  1  2  3  4  5
