An excellent collection of advice and information
I've been on Facebook for a while now, but haven't really been an active participant as much as I probably should have been. I picked up this book to learn some ways I could make use of the network to first and foremost expand and improve my business, but also to reconnect with friends, classmates, and colleagues from the past. There's a lot of great stuff in the book - lots of tips, insights, and suggested resources. It's a quick read unto itself, but leaves you will loads of things to do beyond it's pages - practical stuff to better understand Facebook and make use of it to achieve your desired aims. Definitely recommended.

I read this book -- Now what?
I bought this book because I thought it would help me with a little self-promotion in performing arts. I was able to glean one or two tips that were marginally useful. There doesn't appear to be many books written on this particular topic so maybe I'm out of luck.

If you want to learn about Facebook, buy this book
I was lucky enough to meet Jesse Stay, co-author of this book at GSP West a few months back. He offered me a copy to give away on my blog, Beth's Blog. So, I thought since it was a thin book, I'd give it a quick read on the plane, jot down a page of notes in my moleskin and do give it away. Well, there was so much that I learned that I have to be selfish and keep for myself. So, buy your own copy - indispensible.

Excellent Education on Facebook for this busy Recruiter!
This book offers exceptional value to Facebook users - new and experienced. "I'm on Facebook, Now What???" gives so many excellent examples and offers many great resources for multiple uses of Facebook.
Jason Alba and Jesse Stay have taught me far more about the functionality of Facebook as a business tool far better and more detailed than Facebook itself. The questions I had before starting the book were answered upon completion. Very impressive read and it's written in a very up to date format that keeps your attention throughout.
I enjoyed the book and found so much solid value that I purchased a dozen to give to my professional clients and candidates as business gifts.

Learned more about Facebook in 15 mins than in the previous year!
I learned more about Facebook from this book in fifteen minutes than I have in the entire year I've been using it. I learned not only what I can do and how to do it, but what I should be doing to help myself and my business.
I'm not exactly a newbie online - we're getting up to 30 years since I first used email and got on the Internet, and I'm been on Facebook for about a year.
I'll admit it though, I barely understood Facebook until I read "I'm on Facebook -- Now What ???"
It's pretty much the indispensable guide to professionals and business owners using, or considering using, Facebook.
