The Rough Guide to Social Media for Beginners

If you haven't joined the social media revolution yet don't fret, there's still time! But with so much out there where do you even start? Facebook, Twitter or perhaps LinkedIn or Google+?

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 without either "friends" or "followers". Business, leisure and everything in-between is covered and this guide walks the uninitiated through setup to maintenance and gives you the skills to make your pages lively and relevant to the people you know or work with, and the folk you'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 most popular, and personal, forms of social media: Facebook and Twitter. Significant attention is also paid to Google+ and Tumblr, the latest direct challenges to Facebook's overwhelming dominance of social networking.
