I was in Borders this evening perusing their intense and impressive magazine section. While investigating the numerous Mac-related magazines, I stumbled across a magazine that blew me out of the water: The Independent Guide to Facebook: Your Complete Guide to Social Networking. My mouth dropped.
I remember my freshman year at the University of Oregon. Facebook.com was just a social site that was mainly used as a reference for new people you were meeting on campus. It was cool because it was just for college kids. Since the site has opened up to the general public, it has had a great impact on the world of social media.
This new magazine, The Independent Guide to Facebook, is proof that Facebook.com is becoming more influential. The magazines cover boasts that it is “148 pages of Facebook Now-How!” The cover spotlights how to get your Facebook started, step-by-step help, easy-to-use tutorials and includes smart security tips. I guess my question is, Is Facebook.com that hard to operate and manage?
Social media are ever-growing and ever changing. Every time I log into my Facebook account, I see that something has changed or is in a different place on the site. If you are not on your Facebook often, you might want to log-in. I bet things are different. I guess this is where a magazine, like The Independent Guide to Facebook, would come in handy. I guess the next step is an edition of The Idiot’s Guide to Facebook to be released. Look out world, you know it is on its way.
