5.0 out of 5 stars Old Dudes Can MySpace, January 10, 2007

By	K Potter (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MySpace For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

What is this mysterious place that my children visit daily? Is it safe? Does it have any value to my family or business? This book has provided me with the tools to understand and appreciate the power of MySpace. It is an easy and fascinating read and after completion serves as an excellent user friendly referance manual. Last week I was a technology challenged dork. After reading 'MySPace for Dummies' I am now proud to be a MySpace geek. Thank you Ryan Hupfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are not using MySpace, this book has your name all over it!, July 5, 2007

By	Chris Forbes "gmnonprofits.com" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: MySpace For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

I work with a lot of faith-based nonprofits and the current debate among them is should they use MySpace. This book helps answer the question. With more than 115 million people on the site who need to be touched with your message and moved to join your cause, why wouldn't you want to reach out to them? This book walks though the basics in the usual great "Dummies" fashion. I was able to read it quickly and afterward set up my profile in just a few minutes. It wasn't long until I customized my profile and started looking like a pro. Now I am building a network of people and exploring a space that helps me connect with all kinds of people. MySpace seems made to order for nonprofit outreach.
