This book gives you a crystal clear and entertaining look at everything this fascinating Facebook phenomenon has to offer. It outlines tasks, such as signing up, networking, shopping, joining groups, finding or filling a job, and a whole lot more. You'll discover how to create your page and make connections with other members in no time. gain instant access to the personal and professional details of all the folks you're connected with, the people they're connected with, and so on, and so on. Learn how to: join a network, receive automatic updates from Facebook friends and send updates of your own, participate in groups of particular interest and meet up with members face-to-face, buy and sell merchandise using Facebook's marketplace and classified ads, find a job or hire employees by combing through the member pool, and play it safe by using a multi-pronged approach to ensuring your privacy.
