5.0 out of 5 starsI would recommend it to anyone who uses social media for blogging ...
By Nicole M. Bouchey on August 15, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This was a very interesting book about social media and how it effects our lives. Its starts at the beginning of social media, with a section on frequently asked questions and propaganda. This book follows how social media has evolved over the years and how its changed since the #hashtag first made an appearance. We learn how powerful it really is for all of us and our everyday lives. It was a very interesting read, I would recommend it to anyone who uses social media for blogging or just for connecting with family and keep up with world events.
I received this book for free for my honest review, all options are my own.

4.0 out of 5 starsActually a very interesting and factual book on the history of Social Media for kids and adults alike.
By Brie S on October 7, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This book on Social Media was actually a good read! It took me the whole day,but I would say you get more than crash course of info. It will take you through the good and bad of what social media can and does do for us nowadays, compared to how little it did in the past. Even just 5 years ago, it has grown immensely. Facebook have been the center stone of everyone's world. It's how we get things done, how we get information out to a huge amount of people in a short time. We rely on it for everything and we would definitely be lost if it were suddenly to vanish. It even points out what certain government agencies are with your information and how they can easily spy on you using your social media. It's for great for kids to be informed about "Hacktivists" and shows ways to inform children and adults how to prevent from becoming an online embarrassing statistic. It covers the past to now and how much has changed. They also have a great "Did you know" section with lots of tid bits of facts I bet you didn't know! Great read and great for kids and adults alike.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Book Is Very Real and To The Point About Social Media and I Like That
By RTY on August 18, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Social media is huge right now. Practically everyone has either a Twitter account, Facebook, Instagram, tumblr, or other social media account. It's the "in" thing right now. I have every one of those and others.
Although so many people use social media in one way or another, not everyone realizes just how powerful social media is today. Companies can lose a ton of buyers if they receive even just a handful of bad reviews. People from one side of the world can read what people on the completely other end of the world think about products, celebrities, restaurants....the list is never-ending. The internet is so huge and is only getting bigger. Social media can be used for both good and bad.
I like this book a lot because it tells people who are completely unaware , although that's a bit hard these days, all about the impact social media has. It's an eye opening book for so many people out there, I think especially for older generations. I will be sharing this book with the older people in my family who don't believe that social media can be so powerful. Very informative book, in my opinion.

I received this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

5.0 out of 5 starsEye Opener
By Peyton's Momma on August 11, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I'm a fairly new blogger and using social media is a must for me. But I often wonder if I should be doing it. Should I be a blogger? What could be the fall out from it? The Social Media: Facebook, Twitter & the Modern Revolution really helped put things in perspective for me. One of my favorite parts of the book are the facts in the margin ever so often. I like the Did You Know? information. It was usually some fun fact or interesting information that I didn't know. The jest of the book is social media is here to stay. It's a very powerful tool for communication and self expression. And it moves so fast that our government or any government has yet to been able to control it. There's good and bad about social media. Just as truths can move throughout the world and go viral in a matter of hours so can lies. The Social Media book is an easy read with many insights, facts and tidbits that make you realize just how powerful social media is.

I received the Social Media: Facebook, Twitter & the Modern Revolution complimentary for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions expressed are 100% my own.

4.0 out of 5 starsIntriguing Look at Social Media!
By Giveaway Gal on August 19, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As someone who uses social media on a regular basis, reading this book gave me a new appreciation for how far we have come. The modern day explosion of using social media to share our thoughts, our recipes, our daily lives, is quite different from the way it used to be. And this book takes a small peek at the revolution itself.

This guide covers the ideas of "Big Brother" watching, how nothing is secret anymore once you post it on social media, as well as the good that can come from Twitter campaigns, etc. I found it to be quite intriguing but also disturbing at times. I will be very careful from now on with what I post:) But in all reality this book covers a lot for being such a small guide. Very interesting information and good for schools!

*Disclosure* I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are 100% mine.

5.0 out of 5 starsInteresting and Informative
By Amazon Customer on August 19, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Social media is a huge part of our society today. Before reading this book, I actually considered myself to be pretty social media savvy, but I was wrong! I really learned a lot about how social media has had an impact on just about every aspect of our lives. I never really considered how much advertising, journalism and even activism have been changed by the presence of and accessibility of social media. The book explains positive and also negative ways that social media is used such as cyberbullying and online support groups. The author also warns throughout the book to use caution when sharing since nothing is REALLY private. A very quick, easy and still informative book. I believe that this book could be beneficial to anyone, it's a very important topic. * I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review*
