These few days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve might be a relaxing time to catch up with friends and family. If you’ve already had enough of that, however, you can always apply your time toward learning about social media.
If that’s the case, you’re in luck because Mashable has just released its Guide Book to Facebook. This is your chance to learn the difference between a group and a page, and how to publish an event. There’s also a section on using Facebook for your business. (One notable omission is a guide to Facebook’s privacy settings.)
Mashable’s Twitter Guide Book is more comprehensive. Possibly that’s because Twitter is even more confusing than Facebook. Possibly that’s because this guide was published earlier (Mashable promises to continue adding updates). The Twitter guide includes video tutorials, as well as a glossary of Twitter terms (many of them quite silly, but nonetheless frequently used). Also included is a large section on doing business with Twitter.
If you’re a social media newbie, you might want to consult About’s social media primer. For a common sense perspective on social media, I highly recommend 14 social media lessons we can all learn, from Ian Lurie at Conversationmarketing.com.
