Extremely informative! Donna Bast really knows her stuff. She should consider hosting her own television series on the topic.

Intro level book,
This review is from: Teens and Computers...What's a Parent to Do?: A Basic Guide to Social Networking, Instant Messaging, Chat, Email, Computer Set-up and More (Paperback)
This book is ok if you really don't know anything about computers, internet, or social networking. I would not have purchased this book had I known how basic it was. It didn't really provide me with any new information on how to better get a handle on what my kids are up to on the net.
