Facebook: The Missing Manual, 3/e (Paperback)

Facebook's popularity is skyrocketing, drawing more than 500 million people to this combination online village green, personal website creator, and souped-up address book. But one thing you won't get when signing up is a printed manual. Enter Facebook: The Missing Manual, Third Edition -- the witty, authoritative guide you need, now revised and updated to include all of Facebook's latest features, including enhanced photo-sharing options and new privacy controls.

• Getting started, getting connected. Signing up is easy, but the real payoff comes when you tap into networks of coworkers, classmates, and friends.
