This book was definitely a whole lot more than I bargained for.
If you’re new to the internet, and you’re looking for a way to learn how to use all of these really cool tools on the internet, like bookmarking, or Google Docs, then you’ll definitely love this book. If you’re an online business owner who wants to increase your productivity, then you’ll love this book even more.
It is, of course, a book of tips, and it does contain 500 different tips. It’s broken down into chapters, and the tips in each chapter cover either a specific site or application on the internet: Firefox, Blogger, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Gmail, MySpace, Skype, meebo, Google Calendar and Doc, and Stikkitt. The final chapter covers websites that will pay you to write for them, making this the perfect book for anyone who is looking for a way to make a little extra money on the internet.
Within each chapter, the author then breaks each site or application down into bite size chunks. He shows you how to take each site and get a whole lot more out out of it without any extra work.
The chapter I especially loved is the chapter on Firefox (I just made the switch because I was having so many problems with Internet Explorer.) You’ll learn how to quickly tweak Firefox and customize it to make it do exactly what you need it to do.You’ll also learn how to avoid phishing scams, as well as manage everything from bookmarks to addons. You’ll become a Firefox expert in no time.
There’s also plenty in here for business owners with the information on all of the sites where you may now market: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. These tips will definitely help you with those sites. The chapter on getting organized will help you get your business organized online and help you avoid the hassles of losing your documents. You’ll also be able to make your business more mobile.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get more out of the internet regardless of why you are logged on. It won’t make you an expert, but it will definitely make your experience a whole lot more pleasant.
