My Space is better because of "Your Space:"

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.

MySpace Guide

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.

YourSpace - MySpace...

This book is a breath of fresh air in the world of MySpace. About 99% of the books I have seen that are based on the social networking phenonemon, MySpace, all tell you how to make big bucks selling things to the people who hang out there. [...] It's filled with screenshots that are a kind of what-you-can-do blueprint for MySpace that even an idiot could follow. Great stuff! However, I would have preferred a bit more of a HOW-to-do-it blueprint. But maybe Steve felt it superflous as MySpace is really not a difficult place to navigate and understand. I'm pleased that Steve didn't focus all his attention on the business opportunities to be had at MySpace. Maybe I feel that way because I already know about them and didn't want to read just another biz opp MySpace book. However, if you've just become aware of MySpace's powerful business oppertunities, but you don't know how to use MySpace, or what it looks like or anything, then this might be a good book to start with. And if you just want to meet exciting new friends in the crazy world of MySpace, there can be no finer guide than this.

Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com

Yourspace...has a lot to offer those who would like to participage in the My Space phenomenon that is sweeping the country but aren't exactly sure how to go about doing it. For example, I read this book to get a better understanding of how people enhance their My Space account to include graphics such as moving backgrounds. Although I had been admiring the enhancements, I did not know how to create them myself. Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com really breaks down the elements of what makes a great Myspace page and helps the reader figure out how to use those elements to create pages that are unique to them and show something about his or her personality. One of my favorite parts of the book was figuring out all the really neat tricks that give the Myspace pages I love their own look that grabs other readers' attention. I would (and have) recommend Yourspace: A Friend's Guide to Myspace.com. If you are curious as to how those great pages are built, read this book and create your own page that is like no other.
