KEYNOTE: The ultimate user's guide to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and more! Millions of people belong to social networks, but a surprising number of them still don't know a tweet from a tweep. With this guide, you'll master the lingo, tools, and techniques you need to participate fully in the social media movement. Written in friendly, nontechnical language by acclaimed high-tech reporter John K. Waters, this accessible handbook covers the full range of social media services, including: *Messaging and communication (Blogger, Twitter) *Communities and social groups (Facebook, MySpace, Buzz) *Location-based social networking (Foursquare) *News and tagging (Digg, StumbleUpon) *Collaboration and cooperation (Wikipedia, Wikispaces) *Photo and video sharing (Flickr, YouTube) *Opinion and reviews (Yelp, Epinions) Waters helps newbies become comfortable with social media--and shows more experienced users how to expand their presence online. With a special section on leveraging the growing power of social networks to build or grow a business, this up-to-the-minute guide is everything you need to walk the talk online--one wiki at a time!
