Does any other MySpace book have actual members that give real testimonies ? NO!

Erika: I joined MySpace so that my fans can keep up with what I am up too. A way for them to contact me directly and speak their minds.

Suha: I didn't like MySpace in the beginning... I thought it was very "High School" and kinda desperate. Til I found that it would be a great marketing tool, most of my friends are on it and can keep in touch with people from the past.

Stefen: To reunite with old friends, meet new ones, and promote my business by networking with like minded professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Space is better because of "Your Space:", December 14, 2006

By 

Kate Moss (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com (Paperback)

I just started using My Space and I can't believe how much help this book has been. I have been using "Your Space:" as a step by step guide to getting started on My Space. I can't believe how much I have learned by reading this book.

Using "Your Space:" has made using My Space a lot more fun. I don't have to keep clicking on the help button every time I have a question; I just refer to "Your Space:" for reference. It's a great book for My Space newbies or anyone who would like to learn a little more about My Space. I would highly recommend this book. I'm even going to have my son read it before he starts using My Space. Steve Monas has done a great job.

4.0 out of 5 stars YourSpace answers ALOT of Questions about MySpace, December 14, 2006

By 

T. Bowen "Faith" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com (Paperback)

YourSpace is a user-friendly guide to the world of MySpace. I work with youth and MySpace is currently a big topic with them. Since I personally have (or had until YourSpace) little knowledge of what MySpace is all about, there was great concern about what time on MySpace could mean for an unsupervised young person online. YourSpace addressed many of my concerns by first explaining what the intent of MySpace is and how it came into existence.

A particularly helpful feature of YourSpace was the comparison of MySpace to other similar online sites which I had heard of and one of which I have used personally. This helped to give me a better understanding. A second helpful aspect of the YourSpace was the chapter by chapter explanation of many of the features of MySpace. For those wanting to start a page, the instructions are great. For those just want to understand how it works, it is also helpful. I appreciated that the book is not written from a marketing standpoint, but rather a "this is what MySpace is all about" position.

YourSpace is like an "owner's manual" of sorts to the world of MySpace. Extremely helpful to those of us who are out of touch with the cyberspace world of "meeting and greeting." A must have for parents and youth workers!

5.0 out of 5 stars MySpace Guide, December 13, 2006

By 

berisbooks - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com (Paperback)

MySpace has become a very popular social networking site and this guide helps you become a part of the growing community. Steve Monas's book explores how to use this site and is one that I highly recommend if you are thinking of using MySpace.

This invaluable book helps you set up your own MySpace site with step by step instructions on how to join the site, find your way around MySpace, add pictures and locate other ways to help promote your site. It is so easy to follow especially if you are like me, new to the web community and unsure of how to use html coding. This guide is extremely useful for everyone from the individual looking to meet new people through their "space" to the business owner who wants to use the site to help find more customers.

This book explains every aspect of MySpace, although you can find the information on the site, the guide has it all there and easily available, complete with pictures. The guide even tells you how to use the chat rooms and forums to help you meet new people.
