It includes hilarious updates, embarrassing stories… as well as some cautionary tales about the dangers of meeting people online. So give your mouse a break and discover a book you’re guaranteed to "like".Whether it’s a means of staying in touch with old friends or of making new enemies, Facebook—which celebrates its 7th birthday in 2011—is impossible to ignore… In June an Irish MEP called for Facebook to be regulated as a health hazard, in the same way as alcohol and drugs.

Worst of all, we’re so busy leading our virtual lives that we forget to lead our actual ones. So what makes this social networking site so addictively popular? Well, it’s the way FB has extended into every corner of our lives, changing the way we interact with one another. This book takes a lighthearted look at the site with a mixture of real-life stories, expert comment and useful tips.
