Publisher's Synopsis
If you haven't joined the social media revolution yet, don't fret: There's still time! But with so much out there, where to start? Something more than a text message, something less than a phone call... Not engaging in these new types of online social messaging could mean you are missing out on the action. The Rough Guide to Social Media for Beginners covers business, leisure and everything in-between. This guide walks readers through setup and maintenance, and provides them with the skills needed to make pages lively and relevant to the people they know or work with, and the people they're about to meet or reach out to. The term "social media" covers an ever-expanding suite of apps, blogs and wikis, but this book focuses on the two most popular-and personal-forms of social media: Facebook and Twitter. Significant attention is also paid to Google+, the latest direct challenge to Facebook's overwhelming dominance of social networking.
