"The waiting is the hardest part ..."

Tom Petty, headliner for this year's Super Bowl halftime show, almost had it right with this lyric. The hardest part is actually not knowing how long the wait will be.

Loved the book - a very god and easy read. I like that the author does not only tell you what is technically possible, but also guides you as to what is prober conduct on facebook. What kind of messages are appropriate for the the wall, and what should you send as a message. I miss a for the truly super advanced user chapter at the end, for those who what's to take it one step further . This book can not fully contain that, it is not it's audience, but perhaps just a few links for the programmers that what's to begin developing there own facebook applications. But granted, that is not the audience for this book.

I give this my best recommendation - five out of five.

I read this book from the point of view of a Facebook user who has never really dug into Facebook. I learned so many helpful things. I really like the information on the privacy settings and how to tweak them so the right people see the right information and the rest see just enough. My basic approach to reading this book was to read a chapter every night, then the next day put some of the reading into action. This really helped me turn facebook into a useful tool for me. I can recommend this book to first time facebook users, people who are not yet facebook users but want to learn about it, and current facebook users who have never really dug into to it. Thanks for a great book.
