Facebook started out as a social network for high school and college kids. But now grown-ups like you are getting connected, too — even if you use Facebook much differently than your kids do. If you’re a grown-up looking to join the Facebook bandwagon, Facebook for Grown-Ups is just the guide you need. You’ll learn how to use Facebook to reconnect with old friends and family members and keep them up-to-date on what’s happening in your life. Facebook for Grown-Ups shows you how to open a Facebook account, find new friends, post status updates, and share family photos and videos. You’ll learn how to become a fan of your favorite performers, join a business network, and create your own topic-specific groups. And if you’re worried about privacy, Facebook for Grown-Ups shows you how to keep your personal information from becoming public knowledge. You’ll even learn how to keep track of what your kids are doing on Facebook — without them knowing it. This revised and updated edition shows you how to best use Facebook's new Timeline profile page. You'll learn how to customize your Timeline, edit and highlight events, and add your own personal cover image. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Having some ideas about the publishing trade, such a tactic seems driven to also increase the size of a book, and as I looked at Mr. Miller's work I was struck that there was a great deal of padding. That this book really should be smaller, thinner than it turned out. That the many step by step examples were constructed often to increase the thickness of this book. And then that often those same examples, needed more diagrams, and then the explanation of what decisions you can take mean.
I have been a Facebook User for several years, so nothing that Mr. Miller revealed was new to me. That gives me a very good basis to see if he communicated whether an existing feature in FB (And they have changed some items since he wrote the material, even as he pointed out about the Privacy and Security areas) can be adopted by his readers.
Were I to give this to my mother, an even older generation of Grown-Up or my wife, they both would find it useful, were they to go through the material. I think that this book suffers from the narrative for sometimes Mr. Miller is quite helpful, guiding a new user with insight on a part of Facebook that a novice will readily want to use. Other times, he glosses over parts that a new user should be adding.
Where the biggest failing is, because of the folksy way the book has at times, is that there is no overall step-by-step guide. There are sections, for signing-up, for privacy settings, for uploading your pictures (though tagging them comes later? That should have occurred in the same place.) What there should have been, IMHO was an overall step-by-step instruction. Tell the reader about Facebook (FB) and then after all that, point out that here on your first day of use, you want to be ready to do the following things; sign-up, upload a few photos, find a few family members, friends, groups.
Without that, a new user, of a certain age, often gives up and still can not understand how FB is useful. With this book, if they are able to have the patience in their interaction with FB and thumb back and forth from chapter to chapter, they may indeed become experts. That extra star would have been awarded if Mr. Miller had added that one bit. For I believe the target market are just such people, first-time users who want to go to the site and do the things that get them immersed in it. Five to ten things to do in an uber step-by-step guide would have aided that process. ( )
